Well my thought process was a bike clutch is going to need a lot less pressure to operate than you would apply if it using as a brake cable on a push
bike, but then again i canrt remember the last time i was on a push bike!

accelerator cable fine same as what I have done works a treat dont forget to grease the inside to help it a bit
clutch cable idea will just snap in two they are under some right pressure
use the bike clutch cable

if you can fit twin accelerator cables just in case one breaks like mine did, but with the bike carbs it may be more difficult.

motorbike shops sell 'generic' clutch cables for just a few quid - might as well get one of them. I used bike cable for throttle - the
nipple on the end needed just a little filing to fit nicely in the carbs!
