Throttle Control
If your lawn mower engine is equipped with a throttle
control that needs adjustment or if it has been replaced,
proceed as follows. Note that engines with fixed throttle
cannot be adjusted. Three types of engines are
illustrated in Figure 16. Follow the illustration that is
applicable to your mower.

• Remove the screw that secures the cable clamp.
Remove the cable clamp from the cable.
NOTE: If you have a Tecumseh engine, simply loosen
the screw shown in Figure 16 so the cable will move
freely beneath the clamp. It is not necessary to remove
the screw and clamp completely.
• Push the throttle control lever on the handle all the
way forward as far as it will go, then back it off one
“click.” Make certain the throttle control lever
remains in this position.
• Push the control lever on the engine as far toward
the rear of the engine as it will go. Secure the cable
in this position with the cable clamp and screw.
