G'day gml,
Which machine is this? 'Ol Red or 'ol Yella?
I reckon your right, they are very literally Victa items cut shorter to fit.I just had a quick recce of my machines and they alll have a screw type termination at the engine end thus suggesting that could well be cut down from longer cables.
Options:
-I'm not sure if aftermarket Victa throttles from that era are available. If they are it might be a good option
- I'm not sure what's broken on yours but old cycle shops can often supply cables and swage the lead ball termination required. Perhaps yours can be repaired?
- I can give you the throttle assembly off my donor.
Cheers,
