Craftsman Briggs & Stratton throttle cable

[tradenpaint]

I have a Craftsman push mower model 917.385131 that needs the throttle cable replaced. I bought 158152 but is appears 3-4 inches too long overall. Am I doing something wrong or is the cable too long. The cable I purchased is 46" casing / 55 1/2" overall. It seems pretty basic install but I'm not figuring it out.

The 582991501 is supposed to be 48" conduct with inter wire at 55-1/2". Either way it is not a throttle cable but is an EBC (engine brake cable / Zone cable).
