Cables

Engine Control Cable
The engine control cable operates the engine brake. When the bail is pulled against the handle bar, the engine
control cable pulls the engine brake pad away from the flywheel releasing the brake. The engine brake has an igni-
tion switch built into it. When the brake is engaged, the ignition switch shorts the ignition module to ground. This turns
off the ignition, stopping the engine.
To remove/replace the engine control cable:
1. Make sure the engine is off and cool enough to safely
work around.
2. Squeeze the tabs on cable jacket (on the bail end of
the cable) together using a pair of pliers or a ford fuel
line disconnect tool. Push the cable through the
bracket. See Figure 3.1.
3. Unhook the Z-fitting from the safety bail.
NOTE: On the single speed models, the cable bracket is
part of the drive control cable.
4. Use a pair of pliers, or a ford fuel line disconnect tool,
to squeeze the tabs. Push the cable jacket through
the bracket until the inner cable lines up with the slot
on the bracket. See Figure 3.2.
NOTE: Ford fuel line tools cause less damage to the
barbed fittings. See Figure 3.3.
