I would loosen the cable ends and pull the cable out as far as I could and
spray "blaster" down into the outer housing.
Do the same on the other end. By hand, run the cable in and out until it loosens up.
If that doesn't do it, I carefully notch the outer housing (don't cut the inner cable) in about the middle and spray blaster in both directions from
the notch.-Bob
Let us know how you solved it.

yeah i fixed it turned out to be the plastic pieces that stops it from sliding out of the bracket right where the levers are broke so i just ziptied it to the gas door lever so when ever you pull on it pulls against the other one so it works isnt the nicest way to fix it but it did the trick for now
