Throttle cable won't stay in the adjuster.

Not sure where I went wrong but the throttle cable won't stay in the adjuster. Any suggestions?

Where does the end of the cable go to?

Is it a balled or open cable? If open, just readjust at lock down point. If the cable really is two long, a bolt same thread pitch and size of adjuster bolt, but longer, drilled through to replace adjuster screw/bolt. Just remember to take a larger bit and drill a sink hole for the cable to slide in. You can also just buy bolts( really called a screw untill quite a large size, but enough of semantics) with holes in them already.

Loosen the nut and unscrew the adjuster as much as you can, retighten the nut and then look at the other end of the cable.

If one end of the cable is bare, Just use on a longer cable housing. Or use a longer adjustment bolt as others have suggested.

I've had this before, I picked up a cable kit from Walmart with end ferrels to make the housing the length you want. The kit had longer housings for rear brake and derailleur, I split one of the end ferrels and added it to fill the space. I've used several pieces on other projects since.

Show us a pic of the end where attaches to the carb, maybe you don't have to buy anything.
Looks like a Predator engine.
