ebinmaine 67,627 #1 Posted March 1, 2021 I ordered a throttle cable for the Charger 12 which is the push pull type same as on a 1257 or 1267. The one I got is several inches too short. What is the CORRECT LENGTH and where do I go about getting a couple? THANKS! @OldWorkHorse 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t help with the measurements, but you could drill some holes, relocate the engine back a few inches, change pulleys and belts, etc... seems that’s the approach that many previous owners use to “fix” stuff... 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had good luck so far. @Achto I was mistaken about the cable. It's the CHOKE cable that's too short. It doesn't wrap under the engine. Is it supposed to?

It should go over the battery, slide through between the block and the aluminum bearing plate and then up to the choke. It is usually a tight fit between the block and bearing plate. I have one tractor that I had to shave some of the rubber casing off to gain clearance. Can't seem to find a picture. I'll try to remember when I get home today. 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here.Most are way too long.BTW,after all these years fooling with throttle and choke cables on numerous equipment,I finally bought a pair of z-bend pliers to put that neat little bend on the end.So much easier than trying to bend the cable with 2 pairs of needle nose pliers.And,a perfect bend. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
