Thanks for to everyone who replied.
It is the throttle cable, rusted out at the engine end and snapped off.
I could you some advice if you've done this job.
Which end do you feed the new cable in from?
What is the minimum required disassembly at the engine end?
The spring loaded throttle assembly looks pretty mysterious to me. Where
does the business end of the throttle cable attach? How do I get to it?
Any help appreciated.
