[Spridgets] Bugeye starter pull cable

[Michael MacLean]

The usual suppliers in the UK also sell this close copy.  I can't imagine
there is more than one manufacturer.   I'm sure everyone is selling the
same one, including Moss.  What I am sure of is it is made too short.  The
original start pull cable fit perfectly.  I can make this copy work, but
the start solenoid has to be pulled out almost 1/4 inch for the braided
cable to be inserted enough for the set screw to clamp down on it.  That
leaves the cable under permanent spring tension.  That can't be right.  It
was not under spring tension with the 62 year old original cable.  That fit
perfectly which leads me to conclude it's the replacement cable, not my
Bugeye that is incorrect.
