Troy-Bilt Model 834, no self propel

replace the whole cable it has the fitings and the end is broken on that one you should not be able to put back through the sleeve

The unit has a safety feature that stops the engine with a brake when you release the handle. In order to start the engine you have to release this brake by squeezing the handle lever as if you were mowing. You have to hold this lever in that position as you pull the cord.

Usually near the end of the cable there is a squeeze clamp on the side of the cable. Losen the mounting screw (DO NOT remove it) and slide the cable in the direction that will expose more cable. Tighten the mounting screw and test the control. It is really pretty simple.

Thanks for using FixYa.

REPLACE THE CABLE

you probaly have a broken gear or engagment lever. the part the cable goes through before the cable goes thru the deck. you also could have sheared a pin or the plastic gear that drives it.

does it feel softer to pull than usual? if so it is probally a cracked or broken lever on the transmission. also could be a belt the plastic covers under the deck are bolted in place and i think about 6 screws hold them in place. also check the cable from the clutch lever

You may want to look under the deck. They sometimes put them there. And if it is a self propelled, you will probably need to remove or loosen the plastic cover that protects the self propelled belt.

You are looking for a nickel sized plug that has a square peg. Use an extension piece for a socket set if you don't have the proper plug removal tool.

You need to remove a pulley to put the new belt on.
