Funhoon Control Cable 946-04661A 51 INCH for MTD Craftsman Troy-Bilt TB110 TB230 Yard Machines 946-04661 746-04661A 746-04661 Throttle Cable Lawn Mowers

What It Is

The Funhoon Control Cable 946-04661A is a 51-inch throttle cable that replaces the OEM part on select MTD, Craftsman, and Troy-Bilt lawn mowers. It controls engine speed by connecting the throttle lever to the carburetor, designed for walk-behind mowers like the TB110, TB230, and Yard Machines series.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s model number (not just brand) against this list: MTD 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B series; Craftsman 247 series; Troy-Bilt TB110, TB230, TB240; Yard Machines 11A-020, 12A-829. The cable is 51 inches long—measure your existing cable from end to end to confirm length. It replaces OEM numbers 946-04661, 946-04661A, 746-04661, and 746-04661A. Check that your mower uses a single-lever throttle (not a dual-cable or remote choke system). Deck size doesn’t matter; focus on engine brand (Briggs & Stratton, Tecumseh, or MTD) and cable routing path.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: This is an aftermarket part, not OEM. Most users report it works fine, but the outer sheath may be slightly stiffer than the original, requiring extra force during installation.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the handlebar cover, disconnect the old cable at both ends (throttle lever and carburetor), and route the new one exactly as the old one was—take a photo before removal.
• Common gotcha: The metal end fittings may not match perfectly. If the choke or throttle lever feels sticky, adjust the cable tension at the carburetor bracket. Some users trim the inner wire slightly if it’s too long.
• Length check: 51 inches is the total cable length. If your original is shorter or longer, this won’t fit without rerouting or binding.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a budget-friendly replacement for a worn or broken throttle cable on a compatible MTD, Craftsman, or Troy-Bilt mower and you’re comfortable with a simple DIY fix. Skip it if you want an exact OEM fit or have a mower with a dual-cable throttle system—stick with the original manufacturer part for those.
