750 SF choke lever and cable

The nipple has pulled off the choke cable which is fine otherwise.
Has anyone had any success using solder type nipples to replace it?
Alternatively, could it be built up with solder.
Alternatively I need a new choke cable for my 1969 750 together with a non clamp on type lever.
 
of course you can resolder the nipple onto the cable end, if you can get rid of the oil and grease on both the nipple and cable, but something is wrong if you have pulled the nipple off, because the lever travel should hit the full stop before the cable becomes under any tension.

As the cable still is fine, why not use a
screw nipple (with a drop of loctite)?
I've used one on my cable since 15 years
and it hasn't come off.

Why not simply buy a new cable for a coupla quid??  (?9.50 the last time I looked)  Will last for another 25 years, easily, without faffing around for ages...

If you don't know where, drop me or  octeam@gmx.de  a line.

And big hardened nipples is the first sign of hypothermia in the mammary gender.
