Click HERE to get an idea of what to look for when browsing for a cable. The cable shown is 31" overall, and has a 27" outer sheath
Ideally, you'll want a throttle cable with an adjustment fitting inline, for fine tuning the setting.

I went back and took a look again because I wasn't convinced after looking around online that 3" was not enough. With the inline adjustment all the way closed I was able to get it to work. Just spent 15 minutes playing with the adjustment screws and I think I got it dialed in to where it feels pretty smooth. Still a little clunky feeling, but good enough for what I need right now.
Once I get a bit more time I'll try adjusting again, but I think my neighbors were probably getting annoyed at me ripping up and down the driveway over and over
Thanks for all the help. Next on to the handbrakes!
