Alright sooo i got a new throttle and i put in on my bike and the throttle cable is too short i do have a aftermarket CNS carb and im not sure if it came with different throttle cable or if the stock one is just fine
they can be adjusted beyond what is available normally, but I'm failing to understand if it is inner or outer that is too short & if cable or throttle is new
ah, it's the inner that's too short - open your throttle grip and CAREFULLY trim about 1/8in off both rails at the end of the nylon that forms the throttle stop

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.
true that you can sometimes compress the spring more, but you still need enough cable to fully reach the bottom of the carb when you release the throttle - one should always hear a tiny click when throttle is released
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.
