Was able to just barely pull the cable to attach with a pliers. It's tight now, but the wheel spins. I am curious how it behaves in motion. May be a trial and error thing. Other focuses at the moment include getting my battery box welded and in and finishing the wiring. Sticky throttle tube (cable snaps fine, OEM tube is crap) was giving me trouble. I sanded it down slightly to get smoother action, but need to reinstall yet.
