The same thing happened to me about a mile from my house once. I got it into a church parking lot and called for help. They're a pain to change though. I got a good used one off of Ebay.

In my case, I was able to hold the engine at about 25% throttle - and I got out of the intersection, safely. Had it snapped and gone to idle - there was a good chance I would have gotten creamed. -Joey On Sat, Aug 14, 2010 at 9:50 PM, Kurt Nolte <[email protected]> wrote: So I have to ask... why the push-pull cables instead of return >springs?
