1140073 Connector Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

A genuine Volvo Penta connector set used to attach legacy 443-series mechanical control cables to compatible Volvo Penta control mechanisms, including PC-870 and PC-871 installations. The kit converts the cable-end connection to the geometry required by the control mechanism, maintaining the correct cable stroke and pivot alignment for dependable throttle or gear operation.

📋 Kit Contents

• Complete Volvo Penta cable-end connector / adapter set - Part Number 1140073
• Cable-end coupling components supplied with the service set
• Pivot and retaining hardware required by the connector assembly

🔌 Function

The connector transfers control-lever movement into the 443 cable while preserving the specified lever ratio and cable stroke.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Cable end has excessive play
• Throttle or gear travel is incomplete
• Connector binds or changes angle during lever movement
• Pivot or retainer is worn or missing
• Cable repeatedly detaches from the control mechanism

🛠️ Service Notes

• This kit is specifically for adapting older 443-series cables to PC-870 and PC-871 controls — where 333 or Xact cable is fitted instead, fork 1140074 is the correct part, not this kit
• Maintain the specified cable stroke and pivot alignment when fitting; a mismatched geometry gives an incorrect throttle or gear position at the lever
