Toro cable burned on muffler cage 1128 OXE
Original Message   Nov 7, 2011 4:42 am
Seems the Quick Stick cable on my new 1128OXE was laying on the muffler cage when I ran the unit the other day and melted the black rubberish coating on the cable.  Anyone have this problem?  I used a cable tie to tie it up...

If the outer vinyl/plastic casing was breached be sure to seal it with  RTV or similar product and after the RTV cures usually a day or so wrap it well electrical tape to ensure against moisture getting into the cable which can freeze and make the cable stick.

If the cable was contacting the muffler it was incorrectly installed. If you got it from a dealer that way make him give you a new cable. Otherwise do what carl said.

Yep, been in touch with Toro.  They said the cable was most likely not installed per specifications, at the factory.  Waiting for a remedy...
