The other end of the cable gets pushed through the hole, fed through the cable outer and onto the throttle lever on the carb. The throttle lever on the carb has a spring pulling it to the open position, and this maintains tension on the cable. So when you open the throttle, the cable gets pulled forward by the spring on the throttle arm on the carb. When you close the throttle, the swaged stop can't go through the clevis and the cable is pulled back.
