It should also be replaced if the inner cable is frayed, stretched, kinked, corroded, broken, or if the engine does not reach the correct throttle range after proper adjustment. Any throttle cable that binds or fails to return smoothly should be serviced before operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoute the cable exactly as shown in the Mercury service diagram to avoid tight bends, rubbing, or interference with the steering handle and throttle linkage. Inspect the throttle arm, return spring, cable retainers, clips, adjusters, and carburetor linkage while the cable is being replaced. After installation, verify smooth movement from idle to full throttle and confirm the throttle returns fully to idle according to the Mercury service manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlternate\/Superseded Part Numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e43242T09\u003c\/strong\u003e — Mercury\/MerCruiser accelerator throttle cable number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParts Desk Insight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrottle cables should be matched by part number and handle configuration, not just horsepower.
