Cub 1541 Throttle Cable

[Ace Barker]

Hi. I am new to the forum. I believe the 1541 is under this forum if not please let me know.

I pulled the engine from the cub to replace the starter and removed the throttle cable and the L bracket that holds it. I normally take a photo or just remember but I cannot for the life of me remember where the cable attaches to the carburetor nor where the L bracket attaches to the block. Any assistance would be great.

I can send a photo in a bit. I have everything together and just puzzled on his one.

Ace, hope this helps. It's a mag 18 in my 1811. Where you at in Georgia?

Thanks a bunch!

Yes, I think so. Will check it out later this evening. I had feeling it was on that side and not the governor side.

In Lilburn.

Well I looked at that too. The dang L bracket appears to be able to mount in one place ad the cable lock hasn't moved. I have to get some hydro oil this weekend. When I am there I will ask him if I can look in the book.

Thanks Oak, we will figure it out.

I also bought a Service Manual (CD) for the 1541 on eBay part number 772-4166. I should have bought the manuals when bought this in 1990.

Oak's picture is of the choke cable, which is just put through the hoist strap hole. You need a picture of the throttle cable mount. It goes on the right side under one of the manifold bolts and connects to the bellcrank with the governor spring. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture.

Thanks Matt and Oak. My choke is good. that is making sense on the manifold bolt. When I put the engine in all the cables were to the choke side. I will run it to the right side and match it up to the manifold bolts.
I thought the thing was on the pivoting piece with all the holes. The term for that pivoting lever is the bell crank? I learned to take photos and not take apart something when sick from this experience.


I appreciate all of the answers.

This is how mine was hooked up. Just follow the blue line, ignore the red wire it was for something else.

Thanks Chip. I remember having to tighten that intake bolt and wondering why. Thanks to Oak and Chip. I will look at it in the morning and get the cub running again.

Oak if you are close to Lilburn give me a holler.

Sorry Ace, here is a pic of the cable. Thanks Matt, I almost messed that up for him.

Thanks to all of you. The cable is attached properly and The cub is good to go again. A new starter and new batter work wonders. You all know your stuff and I am glad I found the site.
