1101366MA Engine Stop Cable Compatible with Briggs and Stratton Murray Replacement 1101366 S-Cable 22" Lawn Mower

What It Is

This is a replacement engine stop cable (S-cable) for Briggs & Stratton and Murray walk-behind lawn mowers. It connects the throttle/brake control to the engine’s flywheel brake, killing the engine when the operator releases the handle.

Fitment & Compatibility

• OEM reference: Replaces Briggs & Stratton part 1101366MA and Murray part 1101366. Also known as an “S-cable” or “brake cable.”
• Length: Approximately 22 inches (measured from end to end of the cable housing). Measure your old cable before ordering—some Murray decks use a 20” or 24” cable.
• Machine fit: Works with most Murray and Briggs & Stratton walk-behind mowers (push and self-propelled) from the 1990s–2010s. Not for zero-turn, riding, or electric mowers.
• Check your mower’s model number: Look under the seat, on the deck, or near the engine. Cross-reference with Briggs & Stratton’s OEM parts lookup. Aftermarket cables may require minor adjustment of the mounting bracket or cable routing.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy (10–20 minutes). Requires only a screwdriver and pliers. No special tools.
• Common gotcha: The cable end must snap securely into the flywheel brake lever. If it’s loose, the engine won’t shut off properly. Double-check the clip orientation.
• Quality note: This is a budget aftermarket cable. The housing may be slightly stiffer than OEM, but it works fine for most users. Expect a 1–3 season lifespan in heavy use.
• Compatibility tip: If your mower has a “dual-cable” system (separate throttle and brake cables), this is the brake cable only. It does not replace the throttle cable.

Should You Buy It

If you need a quick, affordable fix for a Murray or Briggs & Stratton walk-behind mower with a worn or broken engine stop cable, this is a solid choice. It’s not OEM-grade, but it’s cheap, easy to install, and gets the job done for most home owners. Avoid if you need a throttle cable or have a different brand (Toro, Honda, etc.).
