An accelerator cable transfers pedal movement to the carburetor's throttle linkage. It opens the throttle as you press down and allows it to close as you lift off. Pioneer offers its cables as a high-quality replacement alternative, manufactured to OE specs.
- Steel inner cable: A durable steel inner cable carries your pedal input to the throttle.
- Polymer outer housing: The housing surrounds the inner cable to protect it from corrosion and abrasions.
- Built to OE specs: The cable is manufactured to original-equipment specifications as a replacement alternative.
Signs this part may need replacing: a pedal that feels stiff or sticky, a throttle that is slow to return to idle, visible fraying or kinks in the cable, or a cracked or damaged outer housing. Other parts can cause these symptoms too, so inspect the throttle linkage and return spring before you replace the cable.
