Replacing the throttle cable.

OK so the engine started racing and I couldn't adjust the idle with the adjust screw so I thought I would tweak the cable length adjust on the top of the carb. Naturally it twisted right off. Fortunately I have another carb. Unfortunately the cable is way too long and I am wondering how to build a new cable of the right length. More specifically I am wondering if there is any sort of crimp on cable end that will fit in the little notch in the carb. They seem to be made from a shifter cable but I prefer to have some idea what I am asking for before I walk into the bike shop.

Noted! However I am still in need of a new cable and I need to learn how to make one!

I'd love to see how it is done! Is silver solder necessary or would regular 60/40 solder work? If you've already posted this could you link the thread? I didn't find it when I searched.
Thanks!

Hmmm.... It looks like Norm edited his answer into my post! How'd you do that? I didn't know you had answered me because I didn't see any new posts to the thread! I did manage to figure it out on my own. For one thing after thinking on it for a bit I realized that regular solder is too soft and regardless of the strength of the joint it would eventually wear away being pulled against the cylinder time and again. I made my end by birdcaging the end of the cable and soldering. I had to trim it down a bit to make it even with the bottom of the cylinder but that was not difficult. The pain was that to assure it was the right length I had to pull the throttle assembly off the bike so I could assemble the cable on my workbench. I now have it all back together but naturally since I disturbed the delicate equilibrium of the system by messing with it I can't get the bike to start! I'll deal with that tonight and if I can't get it working I'll be back whining on another thread! Thanks for the help and suggestions!

It lives!!!!! Turns out one of the wire connectors between the engine and the CDI separated when I was putting it back together. You are officially spared my whining for the evening!
