Hello everyone, I recently got the above mower and have got it up and running today. all was well until the throttle cable snapped... 

ive looked online but can't find a replacement, could anyone point me in the right direction? 
 

the manual I got with the mower says the part number is E.7165 

 

thanks :)

If the cable is unobtainable with a bit of skill, or a friend who restores old motorcycles you could make one. Use a bike derailleur gear inner cable. Unsolder the throttle lever nipple ( if it's an old cable with brass nipple )and as long as you keep the lengths correct and fit the adjuster first it should work  . Otherwise I have made a new nipple from a brass spindle or screw of correct diameter, drilled and countersunk for the cable and then cut to length. Bit fiddly though
