Additional Information
Speed control cable 946-04670A connects the speed control lever to the transmission, allowing you to change speeds and maintain the desired pace while mowing. If your mower has trouble shifting or won?t hold speed, the speed control cable may be stretched, worn, or broken.
Replacing this cable can resolve issues such as jerky movement, loss of speed control, or failure to shift. To install the replacement cable, disconnect the spark plug wire and ensure the mower is on a flat surface. Wear work gloves to protect your hands and use a screwdriver and pliers to detach the old cable and secure the new one in place.
Regular inspection and timely replacement of the speed control cable help ensure consistent performance and prolong the life of your mower?s drive system.
