Replacing the Throttle Cable
WHEN PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE, YOU MUST FIRST SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, SET THE
PARKING BRAKE, WAIT FIVE (5) MINUTES TO ALLOW PARTS TO COOL AND DISCONNECT THE SPARK
PLUG WIRE, KEEPING IT AWAY FROM THE SPARK PLUG.
NOTE: The Throttle Cable is set at the factory, and generally, no
service is required. The Cable is supplied as a complete
assembly with the Handle already attached (Figure 27).
However, when replacing the Throttle Cable it is important
to follow these steps:
Tools Needed:
•
1/4" Socket
• Blade Screwdriver
1. Loosen the Screw on the Throttle Cable Clamp with a
Screwdriver so the Throttle Cable can slide below it. It is
not necessary to remove the Clamp (Figure 26).
2. Remove the "Z"-bend end of the Cable from the Throttle
Plate (Figure 26).
3. Remove the two (2) Screws holding the Throttle Assembly
(Figure 27) to the Control Panel with a 1/4" Socket or
Screwdriver (Figure 28).
4. Tilt and slide the Throttle Assembly down through the Slot
in the Control Panel (Figure 28).
5. Tilt and place the Handle of the new Throttle Assembly up
through the Slot in the Control Panel and fasten with two
(2) Screws. Position the Throttle Handle to IDLE/STOP.
6. Route the Throttle Cable the same as the old Cable, being
careful not to bend or kink the Cable.
7. Place the Z-bend end of the Throttle Cable into the small
hole in the Throttle Plate on the Engine. The Throttle Plate
is a black Tab that protrudes from the Engine below the
plastic Air Filter. It has two (2) holes, and the Cable goes
into the smaller hole. Place the Throttle Cable Sheath
under the Cable Clamp (Figure 26).
8. Make sure that the Throttle Plate is all the way back to the
Stop position. It will normally retract to this position.
