7101395YP Bail Cable Compatible with Briggs and Stratton Mower Control Cable, Replacement Universal Push Lawn Mower Part for 7800165, 7800189, 7800190, 7800228, 7800229 Lawn Mowers

What It Is

This is an aftermarket bail control cable for walk-behind lawn mowers with Briggs & Stratton engines. It connects the operator presence lever (bail) to the engine’s kill switch, stopping the engine when you release the handle.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Direct OEM replacements for Briggs & Stratton part numbers 7800165, 7800189, 7800190, 7800228, and 7800229.
• Not universal – works only on mowers with a cable-operated bail (not solid rod or remote-stop systems).
• Check cable length before buying: measure from the bail lever to the engine bracket. This cable is roughly 30–36 inches (confirm with your existing cable).
• Verify connector ends: the cable has a Z-shaped end at the bail and a barrel end at the engine. If your mower uses different connectors, this won’t fit.
• Deck size, brand, and model don’t matter as long as the cable routing and connector style match.

Key Things to Know

• Quality is average – some users report the cable housing is less durable than OEM; may kink if routed tightly.
• Easy install – swap in under 10 minutes with basic tools (pliers and a screwdriver). No engine disassembly needed.
• Adjustment required – after installing, you may need to tweak the cable tension at the engine bracket to ensure the bail stops the engine immediately when released.
• Lubricate the cable before installation to reduce friction and extend life (dry cables can stick over time).

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a budget replacement for a worn or broken bail cable on a Briggs-powered mower and you’re comfortable with a slightly less robust build than OEM. Skip it if you want maximum durability or have a non-standard cable routing – in those cases, spend more on an OEM cable.
