Throttle Cables

Throttle cables and controls for four-stroke mowers, connecting the throttle lever to the engine so you can adjust speed. The range covers universal throttle controls with heavy-duty steel outer cable, plastic and Honda-specific controls, plus parts like mounting bolts, stop clamps and Rover-specific cables sold by part number or length (such as 1900mm or 1680mm).

Choose by your mower's make and model, since cables vary in length, end fittings and mounting style. A stiff, frayed or sticking cable causes jerky throttle response or a mower that won't idle properly, and is a straightforward replacement.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know what throttle cable I need?

Check your mower's make and model, as cables vary in length, end fittings and mounting style. Comparing against your existing cable is the easiest way to get an exact match.

What does a throttle cable do on a lawn mower?

It connects the throttle lever to the engine, letting you increase power for thicker grass or reduce speed as needed.

How can I tell if a throttle cable is bad?

Warning signs include stiff or jerky throttle movement, an engine that won't speed up or slow down properly, or a mower that won't return to idle. The cable may also feel loose or frayed.
