Broken throttle cable tip.

[tbone9]

One time while out fishing I broke a throttle cable on my IV. Luckily I had a long handled net with. So I hooked the net to the carburetor and pulled the handle and alternated between that and the sticks lol. It wasn?t pretty but it got me home. Another time I ended up using fishing line. So now I just run a spare cable alongside the other one. If it breaks I just have to hook up each end. Hopefully someone can benefit from this.
