Looking for an 86 Civic 1500 Carb Throttle Cable. Mine is down to about 3 strands. That seems like a bad thing.

Never argue your tab at the end of the night. Remember, you're hammered and they’re sober.
Yes, that's a bad thing, and will lead to you watching a race from a corner station - as me how I know. Doesn't Honda sell them anymore? There's a small chance I might have one laying around somewhere. I'll try to remember to look for it.

There is a notation in the Honda parts book that says "Look on the shelf right next to the front hubs".
That would be cool if you could find one. Hey wait a minute, I bet steamcorners has one he isn't using...

Crap I haven't even been over here on IT.com for a while..I venture back briefly and I'm getting called out!
Jim, actually I might have a spare with the spares I got from Tom Lamb. If I can find it, I'll be in Cincy for the first week of May--I could certainly drop it over your way. Email me at steamcorners at gmail dot com to remind me to look for it!
Isn't there one attached to the car that you aren't using? I'll have it back (or wear it out) before you need it.

Well, the problem is the car is actually BEING used right now--as a shelf. I have a bunch of shit to move to get to the car, and a bunch of shit on top of the car, too...the spares are relatively easy to get to...
If I can't find it, Kevin, let me know if you find a spare, since I could still run it to Jim next week...
Take some photos of the ends of the cable and the housing; there may be something that can be substituted, either from another Honduh or whatever...
You ever find one of these?

I did manage to find one in my pile of ITC Civic stuff, but it's used. I'm pretty sure I bought it brand new when I was experimenting with OEM carbs back in 2001 or so, and it even looks like it was only used a couple of times. If you're ever thinking about converting to a Weber, keep that old throttle cable, as you'll have to cut the end off of it anyways in order to attach the Weber linkage attachy thingy to the cable.
