I've searched around and I know this topic has been discussed ad nauseum but I am too stupid to figure this out.I haven't touched this ZA50 engine in years. Way back I sent it in to be rebuilt (after endless attempts myself) and I never got my clutch cable back or the plastic shroud. So I purchased a new cable a
