Repair throttle cable

Posted by Tony C. on August 03, 2005 at 07:38:41 from (24.187.69.249):

I was removing the carb from a Ford industrial 4-cyl power unit and somehow snapped the cable that connects the vernier throttle control to the governor linkage. It looks a little rusty but strong enough that I could join the two ends together with some king of clamp where you could slide each of the broken ends into a barrel type clamp and tighten them with set screws.
Any idea if they make such a clamp and where might I find one?? The cable is the typical thickness of a choke cable , but it is exposed, not sliding in an outer covering.
I would rather not tear into the thing and replace the throttle control right now if I could have a quick fix and get the thing going. Thanks for advice.
