BOB ELLISON 2,976 #2 Posted March 15, 2018 I have a 74 c160 which is almost identical to yours . What I had to do is but a universal cable and add it to the original handle. The cable is not available from Toro . 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 5,314 #3 Posted March 15, 2018 Do you need the whole assembly or just the cable and conduit. I may have everything but the t handle. Glen Pettit in the vendor section sells the handle. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
classicdmax 190 #4 Posted March 15, 2018 Just need cable and conduit, but will take whole assembly if necessary. Bought T handle a couple years back but had been waiting to install it until I got the choke properly operational Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
classicdmax 190 #6 Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Can anyone provide any input concerning routing of oem choke cable. All I have remaining of existing is a stub coming from under fuel tank or length? thanks Edited March 16, 2018 by classicdmax Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,103 #7 Posted March 16, 2018 hello, having replaced both of my control cables with new, throttle and choke , I picked up longer cables for each , giving me more cable for a smoother routing, I have found that cables want to sit in a smoother run, making it naturally work smoother. also before using the new cable I always pull out the inner cable from the wire wrap and (cable fluid film ) it hanging vertically, insuring no binding or drag. I find its the small details that help/make a number of control issues on the horse work without effort. often, a sloppy control rod fit is quickly fixed with a thick washer and lubricant. just my own experience . pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
