Throttle cable replacement

I searched all over and cant find info on how easy/hard this is to do. Mine has stretched out a lot. Zip ties last maybe a month.

Re: Throttle cable replacement

I don't have any videos or anything but start by finding the replacement cable first. Once you get that you'll understand how easy it is to replace. I couldn't find a correct new one anyplace locally. The one I ordered online actually was for a V6 & had to return it. I was able to find a good one at a junk yard. Really quite simple if you get the right piece.

Re: Throttle cable replacement

I think I may still have a cable from my old engine. I can check for you when I get home. PM me if you're interested. It's not stretched out or damaged and will be way less than $50.
