How to adjust engine stop cable

[conks01]

Hi.

I've had to buy an official Yanmar engine stop cable for my 1GM10.

The cable is 3m in length albeit I need it to be approx 1300mm plus the core at the end needs to be 6" as oppose to the 4" as received.

I have no idea how to remove the casing/sleeve from the end to be able to do this. It seems stuck on pretty soundly.

I will upload a few photos later. Does anyone know how to remove the sleeve/casing at the thus to be able to remove it, then trim as required before refixing or crimping the sleeve/casing again plus lengthening the core.

Thanks.

It appears to be crimped, my original one on my 2gm20 was screwed on at the engine end. You could try heating the fitting enough to start melting the outer core. I saw it done on YouTube and it's how I fixed mine when the last six inches at the stop handle end was sticking. Once you get it off force something inside to expand the crimped section again the cut off the required amount. If you have the original and it is screwed on use it if not put the new one back on and crimp it again. you have plenty to play with.

Thanks. Yes I do have the original. Unfortunately it's crimped also. I'll give it a go. Thanks

You know what. I was just thinking the same and saw this a minute ago myself. I reckon if I cut it off then fix on a new fitting as shown from ASAP possibly? I'm assuming their fitting will somehow screw onto the cable?

Yes that type has a thread on the inside. As long as the cable you have is the same outer diameter it will work fine
