Quick & Easy!
Lawnmower Cables & how to PROPERLY adjust them.
Most people take the cable & tie a small knot into it, which will shorten the cable. This isn't the proper way to make a cable adjustment & will end up damaging the cable, causing it to fail much earlier than anticipated.
In today's video, I'll show you how to properly make a cable adjustment!

I lost count of he number of times I mounted and dismounted the carb on one of these before establishing that it wasn't the carb! Then I found the kill switch but couldn't see a cable adjustment - until your video! Thanks!

@michaelrischbieter3678 2 года назад

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video! I was able to adjust out the slack...although on my older cable there was actually wound metal under the outer plastic cable, but I was still able to do essentially what you did. Just saved me a $12 cable! Same as others have commented...one pull and it started immediately!

I learned something new. I wish I had known about this years ago when my brother-in-law asked me to check out his lawn mower since I tend to be able to fix things. I had checked everything else,this probably is what it was too. I was determined to to get it running, just to Simply say that I had figured out what it was. That was the only thing I didn't check, didn't even cross my mind that it would make a difference. Thanks . Good info to have for the future.

@bozomartin3191 3 года назад

Great tip!! Who knew? Wish I knew about this a very long time ago. I thought this might help me with increasing the self-propel speed on a TroyBilt mower but it didn't work like I was hoping. Is it possible that transmission has internally just worn out to extent that it will never increase speed? It appears that the tension is maxed out and it is just way too slow. I have a Cub Cadet with similar problem but have not spent enough time on it to come to conclusion and will try your tip to see if it helps. Thanks.

We had to buy a new cable that was supposed to be for our old mower and put it on but apparently it is way longer. Do you know if it can be shortened?

@themowerman 4 года назад

good one mate, i also like cutting the cable and fitting a z bend to the end works a treat too

@EliminatorPerformance 4 года назад

Thanks for watching!

@no-onesbusiness3093 2 года назад

So my question is, how does one remove the cable at the throttle end? The fitting you show unthreading is wedged in that groove to a point I can’t remove it without the possibility of damaging or destroying it.

@kevincole7044 3 месяца назад

I've watched two different videos and they don't show how to remove it. I guess, I'll try it until it breaks. Great video, but a lot of times they skip step one.

@GTRclanGaming 2 года назад

Love this vid. I have an exmark 30 push somehow had issues with blade RPM. Thought the PTO cable was stretched, replaced it but it still boggs down in medium grass when I know it shouldn't. All I have to do is take my finger and lift up on the cable making the tighter and the rpms go up. I'm definitely going to check this out. Hopefully that cable has this option. Kills me that two locations looked at and neither could figure out why. Thanks again. I stumbled upon your videos and they are really helpful.

@ChochiLuko 3 года назад

I tried modeling the brake cable with a copper cable about the same width as the coil inside the black cable housing but it just doesn't excert enough force to push the blade brake lever toward the motor bracket. Does the black cable housing have something to do with the wire coil being able push the lever when you pull it with the control handle? what prevents us from just using a sturdy wire coil without housing? I want to understand how this works before I buy a replacement cable. Any help would be appreciate. Thanks.

@klink88 3 года назад

How would I adjust the throttle cable on my Lawn-Boy model 10324? It does not have the threaded caps on the end of the cable. The cable does not move far enough to move the carb into the choke position.

I replace my Husqvarna AWD drive cable twice both times it frayed and broke off down near the bottom within an hour. Both cables were installed same as the original cable that lasted 9 years.
