Wrong part,,but—-
Part was fine, but it wasn’t the one for my mower. The problem is in the parts diagrams. I probably should have called for help because the diagrams were not clear enough to actually see what I was getting.

Hello Steven, Thank you for your inquiry. You are wanting the drive cable Part Number: 946-1113A. The other cable shuts down the engine when the handle is released. I hope this helps and good luck with your repair.

The cable displayed doesn't state if it's a drive cable or throttle cable just want to make sure before I order.

The inner wire of the old cable was broken

Used a pair of pliers to compress the plastic locking tabs on both ends of the old cable, so the retainers could be extracted from the keepers. Fed the new cable ends into the hole in the handle mounted actuator bar and the engine operational lever and seated the snap in plastic connectors on the ends of the outer cable into the holders. Entire job took about five minutes and the new cable worked perfectly. An amazingly simple and successful repair!

The ends of the cable were rotated to allow removal from the engine and bail. The plastic mounts were squeezed to facilitate removal from the handle. The new control was installed and secured with zip ties. The product from replacement parts was correct and allows the operator presence safety feature to engage to pull the crank rope. The tutorial video was helpful.
My initial contact was with the manufacturer who had the product on back order. I was pleased to find a source to fulfill my order with a good price, quickly.
