What It Is

This throttle cable controls engine speed (choke and throttle) on Husqvarna LC221 walk-behind mowers and select Poulan HU700, HU800, and HU725 models. It replaces OEM part numbers 532427497, 427497, 197740, and 532197740.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s model number (check under seat or on frame). This cable fits:

• Husqvarna LC221 (any deck size – 21” or 22”)
• Poulan HU700, HU800, HU725 series
• Cross-references to OEM 532197740 and 197740

Measure the cable’s overall length (approx. 36” end-to-end) and housing length (approx. 30”). Check that the end fittings match your carburetor and control handle – it uses a standard barrel end on the carb side and a loop on the handle side. If your mower has a different cable routing or a longer path, this may not reach.

Key Things to Know

• Quality – This is a genuine Husqvarna OEM part, not aftermarket. Build quality is consistent with factory original.
• Installation difficulty – Easy to moderate. Requires removing the control handle cover, disconnecting the old cable, and routing the new one. No special tools needed, but be careful not to kink the housing.
• Common gotcha – The cable is pre-lubricated but can bind if routed too tightly. Leave a slight loop near the handle for smooth operation.
• Check your old cable – If it snapped at the carburetor end, inspect the carb linkage for damage before installing the new one.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Husqvarna LC221 or compatible Poulan model and your throttle cable is frayed, stuck, or broken, this is a direct, reliable replacement at a fair price. It’s a straightforward fix that restores full engine speed control. Skip it if your mower isn’t on the fitment list or if you need a longer cable for a modified deck.
