Throttle Cable Issue: Need Help

[ELITESCALD]

Hey folks,
need a bit of help over there.
Been having issues with revving up my little engine lately, and I strongly suspect it's got to do with the cable of the throttle. Take a look at the pic I've attached. Noticed how the sleeve seems too short? It's likely causing the spring not to engage properly. When the sleeve reaches those screws, there's just too much slack for the spring to kick in effectively. Unfortunately, when I twist the throttle, it doesn't seem to be moving in the carburetor. Any ideas on how I manage this?

What does the other end of the cable look like?

I don't know yet, but I can definitely confirm that the cable itself is moving when I pull it. Despite that, it seems like whatever it's supposed to be doing inside the carb is stuck or not responding right. The spring doesn't seem to be compressed. Do you have an idea?

There is a little notch inside the carb that the black slide has to fit in. Try to rotate the black slide and see if it drops down.

The black slide does drop down, but when I pull the cable, it seems like the slide isn't being pulled or responding accordingly. It's as if something is preventing it from moving in response to the cable. So, what's the issue with it?

If you hold onto the cap (gray part) and pull on the cable, can you compress the spring?

When you hold the gray part and pull it, it won't compress because the cable doesn't pull the slide. There might be the problem there.

You are going to need to fab up a longer cable adjustment barrel that is on your carb cap, or buy 1. Or buy a different cable. Or shorten the cable itself.

Possibly your cable is jammed up in the twist throttle

Basically the black throttle cable housing itself is too short. Or you dont have the cable wound right on the twist throttle.
