Throttle Cable for B502A Tiller Handle?

[captb]

Anybody got a clue how tough it is to swap out the two throttle cables on a tiller handle from the above motor?

One, or both, of the cables on mine broke yesterday.

Thanks in advance, B

I remember it to be a pain. Have not done it for a while. You may want to contact the person who initiated this thread. http://www.marineengine.com/boat-forum/showthread.php?384122-Tiller-reassembly-grip-now-slips

The 30 and 50 tiller of that vintage are very similar.

I did read that, but it didn't give me much idea of the "threading the cable" so I did contact the person who started that thread. hopefully, I'll hear something back soon.

When you say pain, just because of "rerouting" the cables back through the handle?

Thanks, B

I say pain because, it fits together like a chinese puzzle box (at least to me). I do not like puzzles.

i don't either and i finally got my cables today (been enroute, according to the postal service website since last thursday). quick question, which slot/hole does each cable go into at the base of the handle itself. i pulled the cables from that last week to make sure a breakage was the diagnosis and now can't remember which one came out of which(!).

thanks, b

I just looked. The bottom slot is for the cable that pulls the throttle open, top is the one that pulls it closed. So, looking at the underside of the handle, the cable on the bottom comes out - and the throttle opens (while the top goes back towards the engine). Make sense?
