Should.  It's listed as a replacement in the knowledgebase.  Do try to get lined housing.  It makes a huge difference -- bearing in mind you have to keep it away from exhaust heat though as the liner can melt and glue everything together.

while i am waiting for part i went to another bike store and got a tandem bike brake cable
i cut the front and joined it to the europa bracket with a bolt that was holding a brake cable on a bike
for the back since my carb is pull not push i flipped the pivot upside down and turned it 190 degrees
i put the spring on the side where the wire was and cut the part where you put the return spring and drilled a hole to put the cable locking bolt hard to explain but the pictures speek for themselves
when i will recieve my wire i can just replace this one no problem

Your work at the carb looks good, very good.  The other end?  A wee bit low-tech, but, it works!

Lots of brackets and adapters available for the DCOE/IDA carbs.  Not much for the DGVs.
