1996 DS Throttle Cable
Hello,
I have a 1996 DS with an FE-290. The throttle cables (switch box to governor, and governor to carb cables) both need replacing due to wear. The cable from the switch box to the governor arm was a match to what the part breakdown listed and what came out of the car, but the cable that goes to the carb doesn't match. I order the cable listed for a '96 and although it looks the same as what came out of the cart, its about 1.5"-2" short. So, i ordered the cable listed for a '97 thinking maybe mine was manufactured mid year and some parts were mixed, and that one looks nothing like what came out and is about 10" to long. I was able to get the longer one in and connected at each bracket, but the excessive length causes a hard bend and bind. I also checked the described length of the '96 cable i bought to the one i got and it matched, so i didnt receive a mis manufactured item. Im at a loss as to what to do short of bypassing the governor and connecting direct. I dont want to do that because this is a plated cart that im flipping, so id rather keep everything legit and intact for legal reasons. Has anyone run into this before? Thanks for the help! |

Re: 1996 DS Throttle Cable
The specific cable in question here is #101522601. (Governor arm to carb for a '92-'96 DS, FE290). What came off the cart looks just like the one youll find an image of doing a web search of this part number. Its listed at 16 3/8" in length and what i received matches that length, but its about 2" or so short from reaching the mounting bracket at each end.
The next possible part would be 1018324-01 which is for a '97-2003.5 and its way too long. The number you listed is the one that runs from the solenoid / switch box to the governor arm. There is a 4" shorter version of that cable (pn 1015225) which is what i bought and put in, and it fits perfectly. |

Re: 1996 DS Throttle Cable
The 16 3/8" length listed on that parts description is measuring from clevice hole to clevice hole. I would need a "hole to hole" spacing of 18" +/- an 1/8" or so as best as i can measure at the moment. The outer cable sheathing needs to be minimum 12" and idealy 12.5", measured C clip to C clip. I already sent the replacement one back, so i cant measure what it was, but it was around 10" or so. I checked the bracket this cable mounts to on both ends and they appear to be the right ones, and unmodified.

Re: 1996 DS Throttle Cable
Yeah, this cable thing has been driving me crazy. I did install the longer one, but the length of it is just such that it doesnt make a nice easy loop and ends up binding and jamming.
