Parts for Briggs & Stratton 257707-0131-01: Controls Parts

The stop wire is a safety cable device offered on many types of lawn and garden equipment. It is pressed near the upper handle of a device to start it, which lets the blades spin and creates forward motion on equipment that is self-propelled. A stop wire can stretch out over time and will need to be replaced to ensure total safety. If the blade brake control is released and the blades continue to spin for more than a couple of seconds, the wire needs to be replaced.Take the equipment and put it on a flat surface before taking the metal on the stop cable and moving it out of the mower handle. Squeeze the center tabs of the wire with needle-nose pliers and pull the cable end through the bracket. Pull the other end out and then replace it with a new component.This is an authentic OEM replacement part for use with garden equipment engines.
