Hey guys! So I have a husqvarna mower and the control lever is extremely hard to pull back. I took off the shroud and inspected but I can’t see anything getting in the way. I took the cable off and it moves freely back and forth in the sleeve. What else could cause it to be so hard to pull back once connected back to the brake? Thank you!

A purposely installed kill spring on the dead man's lever. Could shoot some white lithium grease inside the cable housing. Lube the sucka' up.

Here is the strong spring you were talking about. Again it's supposed to be stiff. Little guy in red crayon.

Depending on the cable type, shoot PB Blaster penetrating oil into or on the cable. Those cables with the circular wrap, those you shoot oil on the outside of the wrap. Which perculates into the cable slowly. If the cable has a black plastic jacket, shoot at the end of the cable into the jacket.
