I need help in reconnecting the throttle cable to the throttle trigger & throttle safety lever. This chainsaw has a 2 piece plastic throttle assembly w/o any obvious way to connect the cable with solid barrel end (not solid wire). The plastic trigger throttle does not have any holes to insert the cable barrel end. I did not disassemble so not sure how the cable assembly attaches to 2 piece plastic throttle assembly. The inter throttle safety uses a plastic spring rather than a normal torsional spring. The IPL displays the parts, which are the same, but does not illustrate how the connection between the cable barrel end & plastic trigger throttle. Need help! Darrel

The photo of the cable is so small it is unrecognizable. FYI just showing pictures of two parts without seeing the saw is going to make it very difficult to get answers. this video or others like it may help you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rxGzZzYhm4

I am not familiar with that model of saw and it looks like the vid that Oologahan posted is for a different saw. It is pretty similar though. Let us know if it helps.
If it does not help, do post some pictures of the parts in some sort of general alignment with the saw handle disassembled. I am sure someone will be able to help get the saw running again.

I thought it was similar and might be able to help him better through watching a video than someone trying to explain it. Thanks

Below are better illustrations of the throttle cable. The barrel end is for the trigger throttle. No obvious way the cable connects to the trigger throttle.

The square ends of the cable have mounting locations in the handle & body below carburetor. The "juggle" end fits in the carburetor linkage. Where does the barrel end fit into the 2 piece throttle assembly. The trigger assembly has a bottom slot the cable fits into but there is no hole or slot where the barreled end fits. Attachments:

diagram by Dan MacDonald, on Flickr Looks to me like the barrel goes in the middle hole of the trigger and pivots on the farthest out hole. The lock fits in with the thin spring part down, the other side protrudes from the top of the saw handle. It is very difficult to be sure without photos of the handle and the other parts that form the pivot and throttle lock. (50, 49, 48,46, 37...)

48 thru 50 in the IPL are the full throttle push in lock which goes in the top hole. The second hole is for the throttle trigger pivot that fits in the handle. There are no on other holes in the throttle trigger to mount the solid barrel cable end. Also these 2 holes are many times larger than the barrel end. I also investigated mounting the solid cylinder cable enf thru the slots in the trpttle trigger but the slots are much larger than the solid cylinder cable ends.
No obvious way to mount the throttle cable to the throttle trigger.
Need help!

OK, I believe you. I guess I cannot help you. If you could post some pictures of what you have and what you know about the assembly, maybe something would present itself.
Otherwise, someone else who has experience with this model will come along. I have only dealt with the older, metal saws, thought I could guess you into a solution.
Sorry.

One other thought, are you certain that pulling on the cable opens the throttle? Sometimes in the past Homelite has pushed the cable to open the throttle, maybe the cable does not attach to the trigger but only bears against the trigger to push. In that case I would look at the inside of the handle in front of the trigger for a slot that would guide the cable barrel end as some part of the trigger that moves forward pushes it. It would seem to me if that was how it worked the cable should end right in front of the trigger lock at idle. Check the carb, see which way the cable moves when the throttle is opened.

No, it is definitely a pull cable. Hopefully, someone with this model can take a photo of the installation.

Try to assemble the trigger and associated parts in the handle without the cable. Once you have those put together, maybe it will be apparent as to how the barrel end of the cable attaches to the trigger assembly. Stay with it.

It’s possible the barrel end attaches to nothing and just is up against trigger. Looks like the ball end fits in the middle cutout in the trigger.

Hey darrel, the saw you are working on looks similar to the one I’m working on. The barrel end of the cable fits into a slot on the inside of the right handle, and the cable comes out from the seam. I’ll post some picks of mine later tonight and maybe yours will line up the same.

Hope that helps Darrel. Yours might not be exact, but maybe it'll get you goin in the right direction.
