[C320-list] Fuel kill switch Yanmar

[DickPollitt]

I had the same problem. The fuel cut off pull handle got harder and harder 
to operate despite lots of WD40. Finally with the help of a friendly 
mechanic I replaced the cable to the engine. Problem was that the old cable 
went around 2  ninety degree bends and jammed. The new cable is excellent. I 
can stop the engine with 1 finger!
