The cable pops off the ball, usually a flat bladed screwdriver and give it a twist will pop if off. You don't need to remove the ball it is part of the carb.

The round ball that holds it on seems to be one piece that doesn't unscrew. Would anyone know if I need to order an additional part or can I dis-assemble the piece that holds the cable to the carb linkage? As always...thank you for any replies.
