You don't really want to do that. Lawn mower cables don't move freely enough without an overly large spring. Just run bike cable the whole way.

i think he means he wants to use a bike cable and connect a wire to the carb like what Acme sells.(cut the end off the old lawn mower cable and use it for a Gov../ carburetor)

Why not just buy the piece to hook the bike cable to the throttle arm? They are probably comparably priced to the barrel your talking about. And they fit right in the throttle arm.
