Re: control cables

look on the black sheath, see if there is a number on it. you measure the black sheath, you also need to know if you have a pre 79, or post 79 control, the cables are different. post a picture of both ends of the cables, we can tell you.
if replacing one, may as well replace both, the other one is not far behind.

Re: control cables

well i just found my usb cable and apparently my dogs must have thought my cable for my camera was candy.

im almost certain its post '79 from the cables ive on this site, the throttle cable looks pretty new, but i cant find any numbers anywhere that would indicate a length on either- only " T 4".

thanks fot the help!
