  • / Fixing/attaching throttle cable to MTD Yard Machines Tractor
Hello,

I am fixing/tuning up a used Yard Machines I just bought. The guy told me I needed a new throttle cable, but there is already an OEM cable on it. The issue is that the 'z bend' broke on the control side. I bend a new curve and attached it, but now it seems it is too short, or I don't have it going through the right path from the engine to the throttle control.

I was hoping someone might be willing to take some photos or do a quick video on their phone demonstrating how the throttle cable is connected, where it needs to be secured, what path it should take from the engine to the controller, etc?

There is a good deal of slack in the cable itself, I lost maybe 1/4" from the break that was there.

Please advise.

Thanks!

When the inner cable breaks and you fix with new bends you have to trim back the outer wire casing to compensate for the wire loss.
