Default

you take off the cable and hang it on the cloths line and feed it with oil or wd 40 inside the outer cover then try to get it moving backwards and forwards

if the strands are broken inside you can try to cut the most annoying ones

do you have a push bike handbrake cable ?
if you have to improvise

depends where the break is
I can only suggest twist/ patch in the right length or
fencing wire or wire coat hanger

if the outer cover is the problem a PVC hose or off a fish tank
or something a similar thickness even tape will do

and if still a problem a return spring at the carby
