I feel silly asking but this has me mystified 😶 Normally when a steel cable operates a lever, it's directly attached to the lever and movement of the steel cable causes the lever to move. In this case the steel cable is attached to a spring which is fixed to the chassis and the hose (cable housing) surrounding the steel cable is attached to the lever with mounting nuts. The cable housing itself moves the lever when the auger control handle is squeezed as shown in the video.
I can't figure out what makes the cable housing move the lever if the steel cable slides inside the hose? The steel cable is pulled UP as can be seen by the stretching spring in the video but the hose part of the cable which is attached to the auger lever is moving DOWN. What makes the hose move?
It almost seems like it relies on the fact that the cable assembly is routed in curves along the handle bars, since I don't think a straight cable would behave this way.
