Replacing Throttle Cable on Stihl 011 AVT

[tomminny]

Hi,
My Throttle Cable broke on my Stihl 011 AVT. I have pulled the handle apart and opened up the top to the Carb. area-under the air filter. I can see where the old cable goes (half of it is still there and attached to the throttle plate connector). I also pulled the boot that covers the carb adjustment screws. Is there a trick to getting the new one in there or do I have to take the saw all apart to replace it?

Thanks in advance!
Tom

is the 011 avt a chainsaw or weed eater?

Thank you so much for the manual.... I cannot find anything in it about replacing the throttle cable though.... Do you happen to have a service manual for it?
Thanks again!

I haven't done a throttle cable on that saw, and I've only worked on a couple 011's, but my gut is saying a lot is going to have to come apart on the saw. How old is that saw??

Ok, I just took a look at a couple pictures. I'm thinking at least the handle and air filter cover. Not sure what else. How's the saw run? She's an older one for sure!

I have the same saw but never had it apart. Go to arborsite and ask there. Very knowledgable people there also...

Did you ever find a response to your problem? I have the same saw and ordered a new cable from my local Stihl dealer and found that it is too long. Reconfirmed that correct part number was ordered as per the parts manual. So now I have posted the issue to ArboristSite.com.

I am really looking for the correct part number to order so I can get this fixed. Part number I ordered that is too long is 1120-180-1100.

Thanx,

Dan
