Fuel cutoff cable attachment

[ErikN]

While I was working in the engine compartment, the fuel cutoff cable popped off the engine. Whatever attached the end of the cable to the lever on the engine disappeared, like a sock in the dryer. Of course, I'm glad this happened while we're tied up at the dock. However, I have no idea how to reattach the cable. I've studied the "Engine stop lever group" diagram in the M25 parts manual, but I still can't see how the cable should be attached. Does anyone know what parts, clamps, clips, etc., might be required?

Enk : Go to an auto parts store and ask for a "cable stop".  All it is is a circular piece with hole in the center with a threaded screw in the middle.  Slide it over the cable end and tighten the screw.

I'm sure that if you look closely at your engine compartment inside and outside the starboard side floor of the engine you'll find the one that slid off.  Happy Hunting!!!  I'm sure that it is magnetic - if that helps?!

A few thoughts

A cable stop is still on the cable, but I don't see any way to attach this end to the cutoff lever. I may be missing something obvious, but I may have lost something on the lever. Hmm.

If no one beats me to it, I will be at my boat on Monday and post a picture.

The wire end of the cablr goes through a hole (<1/8"?) near the end of the stop lever.  And the cable stop hits the lever and pulls the lever aft when you pull the cable.

A picture is worth a thousand boat visits.

Ok, now I get it—I was certain it had to be more complicated than that. Maybe the afternoon spent tracing wires back there did some damage to my brain.
