I have a Super Dexta 3cyl dsl on rt side clutch housing just below starter is 4C10 T4 Enfo 957E7505C. Tachometer is not working and I suspect broken tach cable. My parts book shows pt no 957E 17365-C and/or 957E -17365D. Which of these would be the right one, and where can I buy it?
Thanks for any replies; I'm located at Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba, Canada
 
Before buying a new cable, best do some diagnosis.

Take the cable loose from the tach. There is a brass piece in the back of the tach that the cable turns. That piece needs to turn smoothly and effortlessly. If it's seized, or difficult to turn, the tach is bad and will break the new cable.

Then take the cable loose from the drive. Start the engine and see if the drive is turning. If it is, hold your finger against the turning piece, see if it stops. If it stops, or wasn't turning, there is a problem with the drive gears.

If everything looks good, pull the inner cable out of the housing. If just the inner cable is broken, and the housing is in good shape, no binding, not kinked or rusted, you might can just replace the inner core. If the ends are square drive, that can be bought or ordered from the auto supply as a universal speedometer cable core.
 
To get to the tacho cable at the tacho end the best way to do it is to take the two gear levers out and then slide the instrument cluster forward enough to get to the cable. You will also have to disconect the stop cable at the engine end.
