has anyone come up with accelerator and cold start cable systems in lieu of the real things? i'm keen to hear some suggestions on how you might have gotten creative i.e. with bike cables and gas jobies etc.. Thanks!

I found a throttle cable on e-bay a while back. It was listed for the mazda B2200 but fits the ranger perfectly. I also use a trick that I learned while I was working for a dive equipment manufacturer to make and repair hard to get cables. I use stranded stainless steel cable from the hardware store, Tractor supply or even bait and tackle shops.Use liquid solder flux and keep dipping and tinning until the cable tins. Then I drill the size I need for a ball on the cable in hardwood. Next I take the iron and fill the mold with solder and the cable end and let it harden. I started making brake cables for my bike because I was tird of the cheep cables rusting and jamming. As long as your housings are in good shape this will fix you right up.
