1101366MA Engine Stop Cable Compatible with Briggs and Stratton Murray Scotts Stanley 22" Walk - Behind Lawn Mower

What It Is

This is a replacement engine stop cable (part 1101366MA) designed to kill the engine on 22-inch walk-behind mowers from brands like Briggs & Stratton, Murray, Scotts, and Stanley. It connects the mower’s bail handle to the engine’s brake mechanism, allowing you to stop the blade and engine by releasing the handle.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check your mower’s model number (usually on a sticker under the deck or near the handle). This cable fits many 22-inch deck models with Briggs & Stratton engines, specifically those using OEM part 1101366MA. Avoid assuming it fits all Murray or Scotts mowers—verify the cable length (approx. 40 inches from end to end) and end fittings (both have a small metal loop for the bail and a flat tab for the engine brake). If your original cable has different end shapes or a different length, this won’t work. Cross-reference with your mower’s parts diagram online if unsure.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Typically aftermarket, not OEM. Expect functional but slightly less durable plastic fittings compared to original. For $10, it’s a budget fix, not a long-term upgrade.
• Installation difficulty: Easy (15–30 minutes). You’ll need basic tools (pliers, maybe a screwdriver). Route the cable along the handle, attach the bail end, then connect to the engine brake arm. No special skills required.
• Common gotcha: The cable may be slightly stiff out of the box. Work it back and forth a few times before installing to ensure smooth operation. Also, check that the bail handle spring isn’t broken—if it is, the cable won’t engage properly.
• Fitment trap: Some mowers use a slightly different cable with a 90-degree bend at the engine end. This cable is straight; if your old one has a bend, this won’t align correctly.

Should You Buy It

If your existing stop cable is frayed, snapped, or stuck and you want a cheap, quick fix for a 22-inch walk-behind that matches the listed brands and part number, this is a solid choice. Skip it if you need OEM durability for heavy commercial use or if your mower’s cable has a unique end fitting or length—measure first.
