I had a throttle cable break on me in Tallulah, LA at 3AM. Never heard of
the place? Exactly. Fortunately there was a local mower shop that had a
cable that could be made to fit; otherwise I would have had to be towed 50
miles to the nearest Volvo dealership. Oh yeah...it didn't break IN
Tallulah but on the interstate. Any idea of how long it takes to IDLE a
couple miles to the nearest exit? I had to crank on the throttle stop just
to make it idle in first without dying. So, cables are not completely
reliable either.

The intake manifold is cast, not tubular!

It is a lot safer than a cable, that is way more
likely to stick wide open.

That is very unlikely, less likely than the cable
breaking. The failure mode is safer also. A cable
can jam open when it breaks.
