There is a special pair of cutters for cables. Or re twist the cable and put a solder on the end of the cable.

I'll sometimes tin the end with solder to keep it from unraveling.  If the individual wires aren't bent, you can sometimes wind them back in place.

Only problem is that both are considerably longer than they need to be. That didn't present a problem for the rear carb but the choke wire on the front was hitting the horn and this interfered with the operation of the choke.  I tried to cut the wire and it just unraveled and became unusable. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to shorten the wire before or after it is installed.
