Ran the accelerator cable today for my WW Okrasa with OG style of linkage and it was a couple of inches too long. Has anyone else experienced this and If so how did you shorten the cable.
Thanks
Bruce

When I installed my Okrasa engine, the guy helping me cut the end of the cable off, drilled a new hole in the end piece, shortened the cable, put a little J-B Weld on the hole, pushed it onto the cable, and re-crimped it, and I never had a problem with it.
