What does a carburetor accelerator cable do?
It links the accelerator pedal to the carburetor's throttle linkage. Pressing the pedal opens the throttle, and releasing it lets the throttle close.
What are signs an accelerator cable may need replacing?
A stiff or sticking pedal, a throttle that is slow to return, or a frayed, kinked or broken cable can be signs of a worn cable. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

Pioneer uses a durable steel inner cable inside a polymer outer housing. The housing protects the inner cable from corrosion and abrasion.
Does it come with brackets or grommets?
Pioneer notes that its cables often include common brackets, grommets and ends where applicable. Compare the new cable with your original and transfer or replace hardware as the service procedure directs.
