Yeah, sorry about that. I see that you said that in your first post. A few years ago I actually did make a push pull cable to bypass a bad throttle motor on a Komatsu 200. It worked pretty well, it was a bit tricky to get it to throttle up all the way and to get it to throttle down enough to shut off the engine. I made a plate that mounted where the throttle motor was and put a little lever on it. I was pretty sure that I was going to have to go back and adjust it from time to time but it worked for five years until the machine caught fire (unrelated) and got scrapped.
