AVB, I can't see how anybody could make a living out of this sort of repair work when you can buy a cheap replacement for half the cost of labor to repair a secondhand machine. As you said fitting a replacement cable to a Honda self propelled, I refuse to work on those now you just waste so much time trying to work on them and they are just too big and heavy to deal with. ATV's and that sort of stuff can make some money but then again they are so jammed up tight, the simplest thing turns into a major time waster, and I believe most are designed to be too difficult to repair
