James,
I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds like a good idea:
When cutting those little cables, put a drop of super glue
on the cable BEFORE you cut it and the ends won't fray.  Be
sure to use cutters intended for that purpose.  The Shimano
cutters are expensive but worth it.  Bicycle cables would work
great on choke cables that have a spring return but as you
noted, they are flexible and intended to pull, not push.
They would be perfect for bonnet releases if you want to
go to the trouble.
Dave
