its common on the mikuni's, just spray them with some WD-40 after every other use, i've found that that works better. I'm on my second cable, put carb on at 45 hours, had to get another cable at 150 hours.

Over 100 hours on mine, no problems.

Lost mine on the water last month at around 100 hours. That parachute cord sure came in handy.

Check the way its routed (aligned) and as posted above how its lubricated. You should get more than 15 hours out of one- there is something specific to your setup.
