I couldn't free the inner cable........
So I just put a Briggs & Statton cable on, drilled a small hole in the carb lever. The throttle lever had to be placed a bit lower, but I don't change throttle settings much while mowing.
Works well.
With rain and warm weather up here, I had to mow front lawn again with my new Honda....
cheers
speedy
