Dragon, if you don't mind, give me the name of the silver you are using.
I have a 350 watt Weller, and it won't come anywhere near close to flowing the silver I use. BTW, Wal-Mart has a good selection of cheap cables of various lengths in the bicycle section -- seems like a pack of 4 or 5 different cables were like $4.95.

It held for three days. It broke again today.

True silver solder will melt at around 12 to 14 hundred, depending on the percentage of silver, and it almost always requires a little oxygen in with the fire to get hot enough, but if you use some good flux, heat it right, and get it to flow good, you have a bond that is almost as good as a weld.
Soft solder, regardless of the name, is something significantly less . . .

I tried the JB Weld-Drinking-Straw method, but it failed after only about ten pulls. :(
Is there an aftermarket clutch cable?

Another way to enhance the heat of your torch is to build a hydrogen generator and pipe the hydrogen into the flame.
Hydrogen burns pretty good, re the Graf Zepplin, circa 1937. A sealed glass container of water with two plates therein, an anode and a cathode, with leads coming out to a DC source of up to 50v, increase the voltage untill you see the water bubble, and the bubbles are hydrogen, which can be taken off by a line affixed into the glass jug. Or, you could go to a welding supply house and buy a bottle of hydrogen, but it is some pricey stuff, but it is about the hottest burning gas around, I think -- I believe it is used in some plasma cutters. At any rate, a little of it will enhance your torch to where you will not have a bit of trouble brazing or silvering. Speaking of silvering, old coin silver works good, and is good value for the money, like an old, non-collectable silver dime can be had for a couple of bucks, and sliced up with some snips will provide a LOT of silver for silvering at low cost.

plaz uses superheated AIR, not hydrogen
Adding oxy to any flamable gas increases temp. proportionatley to cfm of oxy...to a point. adding more fuel without more oxy is futile. Piping a non pressurized glass jug of highly explosive gas without any flash arrestor would be a bomb as the flame will travel down the pipe into the container of gas and explode quickly.
