Post gt throttle cable
when i went to change the throttle cable on my gator tail gtr35, i found the new one i bought (for a go devil surface drive) has a smaller end connection (to the linkages behind the air filter). the original/oem cable on my gator tail is much thicker/beefier. see the picture - go devil on left & gator tail on right. is it fine to use the new cable i bought w/ the smaller end connection? thanks

I'm not sure but being that its smaller it may come out of the bracket easier. Try it out and see

Stick it in the hole and see if it comes out easily while moving it

I replaced my throttle cable on my gTR23, with an oem one from gatortail. I had to shave the end of the linkage hook so it would clear the rotating throttle assembly piece.

The GD throttle cables break a lot easier, obviously because it is smaller in diameter. I have broken 2 on my GD 35 already. They like to break right after the L on the end. It will work but will be more likely to break.
