The throttle cable on my Homelite Bandit SX-135 broke.

Anybody know where I can get a replacement part?
I'm told there's none available locally.

How to home-make a suitable replacement?

Thanx,

Did you already check the Homelite place ?
http://www.homelite.com/parts/index.htm

I fixed 'temporarily" the same problem on my "Trim n edge" twisting
a short piece of sturdy wire with two needle-nose pliers and lots of
patience ( the cable was broken right at the end on the motor side).

Depending on where yours broke you can be more or less lucky. Buying a
new cable of the same size from a bike shop and doing some adjustments
should also work.

Good luck

Nope. Figgered Homelite was a goner.

Hit on the site this morn. Contractor is there,
but I couldn't find hide nor hair of sx-135.

Mine broke right in the middle.

Good idea.

Mine's got a tiny segment of cylinder at one end like a motorcycle
or maybe bicycle cable.

Much Thanx!
