Replacement clutch cable fitting - Tecumseh Vantage 35 Tiller?

Can anyone please tell me where the clutch cable fits on my Tecumseh Vantage 35 garden tiller? The outer sleeve routing is obvious from the handle, but I cannot find anything to fit the new clutch cable end to. I have separated the engine from the cutter reduction unit. What could be missing?

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

Don't know what model of tiller your Tecumseh is fitted to, but this type of engine is usually filler to 'low-end' machines. The 'clutch' function on these is usually accomplished by moving the complete engine and mounting assembly relative to the rest of the tiller. It's usually mounted on 4 bolts that run in slots in the bodywork, and the drive belt is kept 'slack' by a couple of strong springs. When the clutch is pulled 'in', the engine assembly slides, and tightens the belt.

The point of all this is that the attachment you are looking for is probably nothing more complcated than a bolt/screw sticking out of the engine mounting plate.
