It was easy to repair.
The speed selector cable arrived just in time. It snowed a few days later and we were able to get the part on the snow blower and get the driveway plowed.

disappointed
ordered all 3 cables for my Yard Machines snowblower, dead of winter in MN. All cables were back ordered while the snow in my driveway piled up. many weeks later my order arrived I eagerly installed the speed control cable (as my temporary repair had just failed) to find the cable was too short. tied 3 knots in it to get it to function. Not the outcome I was looking for.
