If you disconnect the cable at the carb end, can you withdraw it? If you
can, and there are no broken cables along the length, give it some lube and
slip it back in. As long as it slides freely, you are good. If it it still
excessively stiff, either the inner cable has swollen (rust?) or the outer
cable is kinked or squashed, in which case a replacement is called for.
If there are any broken strands, replace, 'cos these will catch on the
inside surface of the sheath. At least you can get away with just replacing
the inner cable, which saves you having to re-route and re-attach the
sheath.
If you can't get the inner cable out at all, I guess it has to be a
replacement.
