New throttle to short

as a new guy myself, i have to say that's a slick little trick.
you guys are good.
My cable was also too short to easily get through the spring, but i just squeezed down the spring really tight and shoved it into the carb. My bike runs great and revs fine, so if you dont want to cut a bit off the throttle stop you might try just installing it anyway, it worked fine for me.
I'm not sure what tools you have in your shop but I've had very good luck soldering cable ends. You could cut the end off, trim back the sheath and form a new end.
The little throttle cable end is made by drilling an appropriately sized hole in a block of wood, filling it with liquid solder and inserting the cut cable end.

back in 60s & 70s, I had a solder pot hot all the time like any 'cycle shop
we'd put an end on, coat with flux, dip in pot, then swedge the cable strands & dip again
too much hassle these days, no shops do it, but one old guy in next town still makes custom cables
