i guess its not the engine thats important, but the carbs you have fitted
although, one from a sierra is probably a good start
link
the one you linked might be perfect though

i believe most equipment uses standard solderless nipples.
I bought my bits from a bike shop: mountain bike brake cable, 2 solderless nipples and a cable adjuster for <£5 job done.

As above, if you're using something like a Weber DGAV carb then you'll need a cable with the right plastic clip on the carb end.
Not that familiar with other carbs, but I'm guessing they'll each have a specific fitting of some kind...?

Now sorted in true Locost style 
Took the end cap off the outer cable cut the outer back 2", cap back on, re-attached and the job is a goodun as they say.
Thanks for the help chaps 
Chris.
