MF 175 fuel stop cable replacement

[wdjewell]

I am trying to figure out how to replace the fuel stopcable on my MF 175. The trouble I'm having is figuring out how to remove the bare cable wire from the nut, or whatever it is, that it connects to on the fuel stop lever. It looks like it just sticks through the hole, but it must be held in somehow, and I can't figure out how to get it out. Please help. Thanks

Assuming you mean the cable stop that's attached to the shut off lever on the pump. There are different styles of them. some are pretty obvious, others not so much. Maybe yours is this style. The set screw fits through the lever first, then tightens against the cable. The screw shank then becomes the pivot point in the hole through the lever.

If your cable connection is original the picture below is what the part book shows. You loosen screw (item key #44) to allow pulling the cable out of the connector.

Thanks. I believe mine is this style. I can't really tell how to loosen the set screw though. Any idea about that?

With that style you must loosen the screw, whatever that takes. If you can't get to it easily you may have to remove the nut and the lever from the pump first. It's not complicated.

I'll give it a try and report back. Thanks
