I have an acs products vernier mixture cable with a male thread on the carb end. This is what both vans and spruce sell. Naturally it just doesn't quite fit for various reasons that I won't bore you with. All my problems would be solved if I could run a die down the threaded end for another 3/4" and lop off the last 3/4" to shorten it. But there is a stainless outer sleeve that the end of the threaded part would disappear into unless I shorten it too. Unfortunately it seems that the pushrod can't be removed from the outer sleeve so my only option is to put that stainless sleeve in my lathe and try to very carefully slice off 3/4" without knicking the rod inside. Has anyone here tried to do this? Or is there a way to remove the inner sleeve? Any advice appreciated.
