Question what kind of throttle cable end is supposed to be on this thing?

I just got this motor about 6 hours ago. I am fairly certain that it is missing the end of the throttle cable where it hooks to the engine but I have no idea what part number I should be looking for to order.

If it isn't missing a link how does it hook up all that is on the engine side of the cable is a small piece of bare wire that moves back and forth with the throttle lever.

So can someone give me the correct throttle cable number or tell me how this hooks up.

(I have ordered a manual just hasn't gotten here yet).

A picture of the hook up would be greatly helpfull if available.

Long of the short is need cash now. Sold my 1983 Merc 50 with power TILT and trim bought this motor and came out $300 ahead so hopefully this will work out and I guess you could welcome me back from the dark side.

Serial 65272s

The cables come without ends. The ends are available from any Evinrude dealer. OR right here at iboats.

diagram/part numbers at http://shop2.evinrude.com. You'll need several little parts (#86-90) if you have a bare wire there.

The engine side of the cable starts at the #96 adjuster onwards..... #84 is at the control side, #86 is at the engine side. The dotted line between the two is the cable.
