My throttle cable broke at the carb end on my 2 stroke LX 50.
From my understanding of reading some previous posts about the ET2, I think there is a splitter where 1 cable goes to the carb and the other to the oil pump.
What is the part number for the splitter to carb cable?

Also, it broke inside the carb, if I remove the cap I have the spring and plastic thing where the cable is still connected. how do I remove this and put the new cable in, the other part of the cable is still connected to the cap with the right angle part from the carb, how do I remove it from here?

Thanks

Also I need to get a new rubber part from the cable to the carb cap.

The carb is a dellorto 17.5 PHVA

the splitter is under the footboard, at least is it on ET2's so I'll assume it's in the same position in the LX. you'll need to pull off the glove box and then the footboard to get to it.

you likely don't need a new one, just a new cable which should be PI650237 and the rubber piece is PI875551 (that's the actual piaggio PN and it's 8 freekin' bucks!! but it's pretty universal so you could probably find a good used one or a universal for wayyy cheaper).

once you open up the carb it should be pretty self evident how it all comes apart and goes together.

I'd go with 7 euro of cause. Be carefull tensioning cable at tha carb side - there should be little crearance to wiggle throttle handle freely. If it is too tight, you may suddenly run into car ahead of you on the lights. Also doulble check that oil pump opens enough. If not, you'll burn your crankshaft bearings.

Check pages with "carbeurator" and "mixer" (oil pump), read carefully blacked text too. Attaching service manual for Lx 50 2t, download link: https://we.tl/t-23j1tTLQEB
