Broken Throttle cable

[greenlight612]

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can pick up a new throttle cable that would fit the 19mm carb on my Zuma. I looked on this site and couldn't find one unless I buy a whole new carb. The cable snapped and that is the only thing I need to replace.
Any suggestions??

I emailed them and they told me what to do to get a zuma throttle cable. Do you know if this cable will work with the 19mm carb or is it a stock cable?

if you have the arreche 19mm carb they make a cable just for that carb. Just email provo and tell them you need a throttle cable the arreche carb. Also make sure you use the barrel clamp when you install the new throttle cable. this will make it last a lot longer.

What exactly is the barrel clamp, and how do i use it? Thanks for the tip.

the barrel clamp goes on the dummy cable. The stock zuma carb runs two cables. The arreche only uses one. The cable that does not go to the carb you will have to cut cable and put the barrel clamp on the end. Your scoot might already be set up correctly, but my guess is if your trottle cable broke i bet that there was no dummy cable. Check your scoot and look under the right grip and see if there are two cables coming out of the bars or just one.

Yeah, actually the dummy cable broke last week, so i replaced that. Then just 2 days ago the throttle cable broke, so now i get to replace that.

I used a mountain bike brake cable for the dummy cable but have one question, should i grease it before i put it in the sleeve? if so what should i use to grease it?

[Chris Snavely]

i used my old stock zuma return cable. I just cut it about 1 foot and put the barrel clamp on the end. I do not think grease would do anything. The dummy cable only keeps the twist grip tight and does very little moving.
