Throttle Cable Substitute
Strimmer/weed whacker line (such as Wilko's at £1.20 for like nine miles of it) makes a fine throttle cable replacement for most carbs.
On mine I just tie a knot in the carb slide end, using pliers to get it really tight, and then feed it through the cable outer and bung one of those screw on thingies on the throttle end. I've also used fishing line in a pinch before but strimmer line is better.
