gas cable not connected in control box

[jchrans]

I have a 1969 125HP Johnson with Hydroelectric drive. The motor runs great and it does shift gears when I move the lever on the control box. However, the gas cable inside the control box has come unattached from the lever. And, unfortunately, the screw used to clamp it in place is stripped. How can I re-attach the gas cable inside the control box to the lever???

Thanks, but I have the box apart. I don't know how I can re-attach the cable since the screw that binds it to the lever is stripped. If get the screw out, where would I find a replacement and is there one? Thanks for you help!
