i finally got my lawn mower running good but i need a throttle cable. can you still buy them? i,am getting tired of reaching down to make it go faster. i need a cable that hooks on the throttle and clamps on the handle and has a knob to make it go faster or slower. thanks guys ! by the way it,s a 3.5 HP briggs and stratton. it never came with a cable and there,s no adjustments on the carburetor.
The quality of cut is determined by how sharp the blade is. Electric mowers are nice because they are quiet. They also weigh much less than gas mower if corded, which means no need for self propelling. Gas mowers are nice because they do not need to be plugged in. But noisy and need gas and oil added routinely. Gas and corded electric mowers can last for decades. The rechargeable types need batteries periodically. Ultimately it is in the eye of the beholder as to which is the better mower. No matter how much people want to intellectualize choice it boils downs to personal preferences and matter not how pragmatic you attempt to be.
They sell those at Home depot and Lowe's go the the garden center and tell a rep. that you need a universal throttle control cable! :)
A small engine repair store should be able to fix you up
Get a brake cable from any bicycle shop.
I'm not familiar with that particular mower, but in general they still make them. Yahoo answers isn't really the best place to ask this question- pick up the phone book, open the yellow pages, and look for any place that does maintenance on lawnmowers or small engines in general. They can almost certainly answer your question and sell you what you need. EDIT: or maybe MasTec 1970 will go and prove me wrong :P
