How to Set Up and Adjust Throttle and Choke Cables on Small Engines

[@jiddojimmy]

You do an amazing job explaining issues I have had trouble with and Just want you to know. Thanks for your time and care!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Your welcome, glad to help out! Thanks for Watching!!!

[@richardpetty6935]

You sir are very awesome. I couldnt get my mower to run and I watched some of your videos and now she is almost running like new except sometimes when im mowing it will just die but then it starts right back up. ive not had it long and it had sit for a while before I got it. Thank you so much for doing what you do, you have inspired me to want to work on small engines. Keep up the good work my friend

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Appreciate that! Hard to say what is causing it to shut off like that, but at least it starts right up again though, I had one 12 horse briggs that if you stalled it out in high grass it would vapor lock and you would have to let it cool down to start up again, really annoying haha Your welcome, glad to hear that, its a fun hobby to get into and there is money to be made doing it. Thanks for Watching!!!

Great video as always Frank! Your governor adjustment video fixed my problem on my last project. I had that silly carb off 5 or six times trying to figure out the surging. Thanks for all your information!

[@frankzemberi4322]

You are very thorough of explaining.

[@beegekhaos3171]

This is exactly what i was looking for, explained very clearly and easy to understand. Thank you so much!

[@estherfolsom8287]

Exactly what I needed and in words I could understand! Thank you!

[@jefferykirby934]

JUST WATCHED THIS VIDEO AND IT IS GREAT. NOW I CAN FINALLY SET MY THROTTLE CABLE TO WORK CORRECTLY. THANKS JEFF WETUMPKA AL

[@rmintexas2452]

Amazing video sir!! I have a JD SRX95 that had a rough start after I replaced the throttle cable and after finding your video I will be able to adjust my throttle cable. 🙏👍

[@meknotewe8155]

Thanks for taking time to make this quick and easy diy video! My new old riding mower works now! YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAWWWWWW!!!

[@garciajr4413]

Great video, worth a million likes!!!!!!!!

[@brentjohnson6654]

Thanks for this video. I looked for this video after your other one was very good to explain the linkage and operation of the carburetor. I never have been a fan of the auto choke on my John Deere. I might have to look for a manual cable and clamp. Thanks again.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Your welcome! Glad to help out, Thanks for Watching!!!

[@majorafc5085]

I greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into teaching us your craft. I'm learning a lot about my machines, and how to repair and maintain them. However, if you could include the make and model of this one, and the ones you're demonstrating at the time, that would be a big help. I need parts like the black bracket on the carburator conecting to the lower engine, but I don't know the name of it or the part number. Thank you for sharing your knowlege.

[@frankzemberi4322]

Thanks good job. Sorry about first comment on same thing it was a nother language forgot to change the language.

[@fossilsol69]

My B&S 22hp started doing this the 3rd season. Had to have carburetor rebuilt after the 4th season because gas was leaking out carburetor while sitting in garage. They say ethanol ate the seals. My other 2 mowers mower a B&S 16hp and a B&S 24hp sat with ethanol gas in them year round no problem. After the $400 carburetor i job i drive 22 miles to get ethanol free gas for the 22hp but the others still running strong on ethanol after 15 years. I even told the guy who rebuilt the carburetor it had been hard to start for 2 years before carburetor started leaking and it was hard to start after he rebuilt carburetor. They said didn't know why it was hard to start. Well 2 years later and seeing the comments here I adjusted the choke, heck it was not even close to being in position. Everybody adjust the choke! All that cranking could not have been good on the coils, hoping that cures up. What pisses me off is that everybody else said start with the valve clearance. It was out very little and getting that permatex on the valve covers to seal without getting it on your internal components is hell.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

I hear ya! Sometimes it is something simple like that. But ethanol does work on certain gaskets/diaphragms. I haven't much problems with my personal equipment, but its mainly when something sits a long time before it starts to work on them. Glad you got it going! Thanks for Watching!!!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

thanks! glad to hear it helped out! hahaha been there done that about 4 years ago before i knew it was adjustable, i cleaned that carburetor at least 3 times and rebuild it once haha and here it was probably just that being out of adjustment all along!!! your welcome, thanks for watching!!!

[@dumpgodby1874]

That's what I'm done so far..

[@NeilGrooms]

The manual choke set up after hooking çable up to black plastic piece where does the other end of the cable connect. ?

Thank you!! saved my ass today.

[@Robthebengalguy]

What is an easy way to install a manual choke on the horizontal one piece carburetor setup by the way I love your videos you explain things well I wish you were my neighbor LOL

[@joshszat2]

Great video & helpful information. I just bought a throttle cable for a 2015 toro 60inch. Just like in your video there's a cable clamp on the engine right before the z-bend connects. .y question is how do you gauge where to tighten it down, there was a stop screw but it missing or broke off & I dont want to make it too tight, then the engine revs way too high.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Thanks! You have to keep playing with it some to get it adjusted right there is no preset way to set it up, but when you set the throttle to idle you do want it all the way so the switch kills the engine, so as long as it does that you should be good. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@jestep9]

Great video👍 thank you much👍

[@rudybuan6813]

Your video is very clear demonstrated. Thank you for that. Now my scenario is, I replaced a throttle cable on my scag 36 walk behind, ( this is my first time to do this) now when everything done the throttle lever is backward. The choke position is all the way to the top and the fast position is on slow position. Now, what did I did wrong? Please help me. Thank you

[@taunzik]

I need to know how te springs are behind this! Do you have video?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Well, as far as small engine goes i learned alot from helping my dad keep the mowers running, then he got away from it and i do all the repairs now and just learn as i go really. I'm no expert! And for electrical, i'm a journeyman electrician, went through trade school for that. Guitar building, just kind of picked that up on my own haha i'm a jack of all trades and master of none, for sure! thanks for watching!!!

[@jimmysgarage9068]

Great explanation and video!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Thanks for Watching!!!

[@Richard-nq3rh]

enjoyed your videos I believe I learned some things but I having some trouble maybe you can advise me. I bought two different after markets carbs on a 19 hp Briggs & Stratton motor but can't get them running right . the air/mixer screw doesn't seem to do a thing I know I'm running lean, becauce the surging and popping/backfire stops when I slowly give it the choke manualy . from what I learn with all the video's I watch I need to drill the Idle jet larger because Its not getting enough gas. what your option? I did check the valve lash and its within spec.

[@AsianBlackR3501]

Great video. Thanks.

[@dougclayton705]

Thank you very much, our mower is running on idle and you showed how to fix it so easily, now even myself as a mate calls me? Passion fingers for all the wrong reasons, can fix it. Only question though is how can I ease the high revs? When started? Once again CHEERS MATE.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

your welcome! If its reving to high, you can usually bend the tab that the governor spring is connected to. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@DescartesDooley]

Sir, do you know where I can find that style of cable clamp? Thank you.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Thanks! sounds like it may be a issue with the carburetor itself, being out of adjustment trying to run to lean. I've never done any work on a kohler before, never owned one. thanks for watching!

[@69ztang]

Do they sell the white plastic part.

[@1899lpv]

Excellent video. It cannot be clearer than that. Have you ever consider to become a shop teacher ?

[@davidweum9334]

My buddy and I just jerryriiged a "new" throttle cable on my very old B&S. We cut it off! Used about 8 inches of it and moved throttle left and front to 3000 - 3200rmps the fastened the cable to where it was supposed to be fastened/screwd on. No new cable necessary. Besides, the model and serial #s were worn off. My only other option was a small engine scrap yard.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

I hear ya, as long as it works! Thanks for Watching!!!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

thanks man! haha i have but i'd rather make videos, that way if i get tongue twisted i can just edit it out and not be embarrassed haha thanks for watching!!!

[@yaboi5637]

Thanks for the the video. Great job!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Your welcome, Thanks for Watching!!!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

hahaha if you do away with the springs it will bypass the governor, you may not be able to do this on that type of engine, i've never done it on a push mower engine before. you should be able to do something similar to the bigger engine like in the video, removing the linkage that hooks to the choke. hope this helps thanks for watching!

[@dumpgodby1874]

On this set up. How do you set governor . Than you so much I'm gonna try it right now to set it like you did the vertical throttle assembly. You sir are awesome for doing these videos. I got a 1992 rer snapper mower. 12 hp surging and leaking. I'm hoping I solve the issues tonight. On this Sept11.... I ordered a Corvette hood emblem.. for it. Since the Corvette is mid engine..lol and my favorite car. Lol

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

[@melbclueless]

I have a 2011 Mud Buddy 36HP sport V, Vanguard B&S motor on my boat. I lost throttle power while on the river and Im pretty sure some of the parts are in the bottom of that river. I can not find a diagram of this motor so I can identify possible missing parts for re-order as well as how to replace the throttle cable as it needs to connect to the throttle arm/governor. Do you have any videos that would help me or other references to point me in the right direction.

[@hphillips7425]

I would like to eliminate the auto choke and install a manual choke. Thanks for the information

[@ericchapman399]

The first bend of the l wire needs to be bent with a 90 degree bend to ro sit squarely in the piviot hole to take any strain off the plastic arm this will make for smoother operation. The bend on the short tail can be at 45 degrees to make assembly easier.

[@CoyoteCarChannel]

Or if you could post a video if you haven’t already on how to adjust an engine to get it to start after a rebuild

how does the black butterfly on top carb go back to un choke ? maybe spring loaded?

[@nellybo51mft14]

How do you take off governor so it will go faster. 200cc Coleman ?

[@_chrisbuzz]

I have an issue where my throttle has become reversed. Any idea what I've done wrong?

[@derekec]

Thanks for helping, though I think when throttle is wide open, wouldn't want the engine "choked". Choke valve adjusts the air inlet and when at full throttle with a lot of gas flowing, the carburetor needs maximum air, choke flap wide open, not choked. You'd choke at idle to match the leaner gas flow and fully choking it would kill the engine..from idle. Point being, a cold engine and/or at idle needs to run rich with closed or narrowly open choke valve, then open it progressively as engine warms and at higher throttle. I know you know this but just want folks coming for help to understand.

[@josem.2909]

True, I was like what?? 😟

[@gagatube]

You may be right, but that's not the way Briggs do it. I have a 13HP with an "automatic" choke (it isn't really automatic, real automatic chokes have temperature controls in them). When you look at the operation of the linkages the only time the choke is activated is when the throttle lever is at at 'full throttle + choke' for starting, once you move the throttle down into the Slow - Fast operating band the choke does not function at all.

[@aortys4833]

Hi player, these videos are so informative. I have a 12.5HP B&S (28t707) on a Viking MT433. I got in out of the shed for my wife and it was working as normal as now with throttle lever (ie put on choke to start). I had a call from wife to say mower just stopped working when using it. When I got home to inspect the throttle lever has changed. To start mower now you have to move it down to 'run' to get mower to start and to slow the speed instead of moving lever down to 'slow' you have to move up to choke. Any assistance would be appreciated?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

the governor spring? Kind of hard to explain, i did a video last summer on how throttle and choke linkage is set up on a 13.5 HP briggs, i show all the springs on it and how they hook up. if you can't find the video, let me know and i'll PM it to you. thanks for watching!!!

[@Chasinbacon92]

What exactly am i doing wrong i adjusted both choke and throttle and i can start my mower and it’s like the throttle isn’t working like it throttles up and everything but turning the throttle back down to turtle position it’s still running at high idle and to the point where i have to pull the choke out to get it to idle back down

[@philliphall5198]

Got a 19 HP b/s with the plastic part broken off on the engine throttle plate, cheap white plastic is stupid thing b/s did 😢

[@69ztang]

Did you find that part?

[@AndreSuzano]

I have a Toro Vtwin 656cc that was blowing white smoke. I cleaned the carburetor and did an oil change. (Fuel in Oil) Now I have a very low idle and engaging the blades kills the engine. Thoughts?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Check the springs on the governor, linkages too. I've had the springs or linkages come loose or get stretched while re-assembling. It may have a governed idle, if the spring did stretch on it, you can bend a tab to reset the idle speed. Or adjust the idle screw up. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

thanks! no problem, thanks for watching!!!

[@rgurtler]

Great video ! I', having trouble with my kohler MV18 - the engine runs but only with the choke line pulled ALL the way out . Im thinking to adjust it to have more play between fully in and fully out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again for the video! Rich G

Hello Mr frank I'm having throttle problems with my john deere la105 I can't get it to throttle high or low nothing can u plz help me

[@kdeh21803]

I have a 14.5 MTD Lawn Tractor. I had to put a new carb. on it and I'm having trouble getting the choke/governor adjusted correctly. I have a manual choke on the machine.... when I do as this video describes it seems to run like choke is on at full choke on and full choke off....the only way I can keep it running is to have it at 1/2 choke (and it's never been like this before)....what have I done incorrectly?

[@Midnight6222]

Where is the govoner spring hook into on the carb and where does the spring hook that is behind that bracket go into from the govenor arm

[@mikegonzales3365]

I have to manually close the choke from the linkage with my hand for mine to start. Will adjusting it like in this video fix that? Once it starts it's fine. It's only when starting that I have to do that. Thanks.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

It should, alot of times the cable will slip and not allow it activate the choke, or you may have a problem with the choke linkage, it could be be bent or came loose. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

haha i hear ya thanks for watching!!!

[@davidhardman6291]

Governor spring adjustment?

[@calrec1]

My Ariens Imperial riding mower has a 12.5 Briggs with a vertical governor control plate. The combination throttle/choke cable comes up from the frame to bottom of the governor plate. Thinking of adding a separate choke cable since the combination doesn't work very well?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

I hear ya, yeah i prefer a manual choke mainly because it keeps the engine from running full throttle at start up. Its not hard to do really. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@DeveneyInteractive]

I know this is an old video, but I could use your help. The white piece of plastic that the throttle cable z bend goes into broke on my 13.5 B&S. I can't seem to find out what they call that, I'm willing to replace the piece or the whole assembly. I just need to know what it's called so I can look it up properly. My B&S has that auto choke feature. If I knew how to just put the cable on the choke, I would make it manual, but I'm not sure how to do that either. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Great Video!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

My manuals don't show a part # for that, you have to replace the whole bracket assembly (about 10-20 bucks on ebay). If yours slides horizontal its part# 694042 but if its vertical i'll have to see what it is, if you want give me your model and type off the engine so i can verify the part #. Hope this helps! Thanks for Watching!!!

[@calrec1]

DeveneyInteractive being

[@calrec1]

How about the back side of a vertical bracket assembly showing the spring connections? Adapting engine from Simplicity (horizontal plate) to Ariens riding mower (vertical plate)

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

you may need to adjust the carburetor itself, it should have a adjustment screw on it to make it run a little richer, it probably isn't a linkage problem. thanks for watching!

[@BeardedAK47]

I just purchased a used WheelHouse generator with a 10HP B&S that didn't run. I replaced the intake pushrod, stator and head gasket. She starts up but is missing all the springs but has the linkage from the carb to the metal piece that hooks to the governor...how hard will it be to make new springs to properly utilize the mechanical governor?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

I don't know about making them, it would be hard to get the tension right on the springs, probably have to buy the correct parts. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@DebJo912]

Hi, I seem to have a problem with my set up. I have a 11.5 Briggs on a 33 inch cut Snapper rer. It has the automatic choke. I put a new carb on it and when I set to choke it seems like the choke lever is too short. It will not go all the way over to push the lever to choke on top of the carb. The thing that moves on the back side of the plate will only go to full throttle. It will start up on full throttle though but to choke it I have to push the little wire over by hand. Whats wrong? Thanks, Debbie from Tennessee.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

There may be different holes on the choke lever on the carburetor to set different "throws" of the choke, if its in say the top hole it won't close all the way. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@brianreid5891]

Hey, I just notice the bottom bolt that bolts the throttle assembly onto the engine has broken off. engine throttled down and quit on me and I realized a good bit of oil was coming out of the hole where that bolt went in. have you experienced this before? what is the best solution? Thanks for the video!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

No actually i haven't had that happen exactly like that. there shouldn't be oil coming from the the hole, oil may seap around the governor arm shaft but it shouldn't come out there, you should be able to drill it and rethread it but be carefull not to drill through the block. your welcome, hope this helps. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@darkvoid2805]

Anyone know what that white plastic piece is called connected to the throttle ?

[@69ztang]

Converting Auto Choke to manual and installing throttle control cable on briggs 7.75 hp walk behind lawn mower...Need detailed instruction and diagram on where to hook cables on to carb...and where/how to secure cable to engine and zip tie to push handle. Thanks

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

You may not be able to add a throttle to it, as alot of these newer mowers have a preset governed throttle. The choke may be doable, but is usually located under the flywheel cover, alot of the newer ones are air vane operated chokes. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@patrickpage8477]

Thanks for your response. I located the Throttle and choke plastic tabs on top of the carb and drilled hole in each. I then attached a control cable to each hole and zip tied it back to the handle. A converted control box that was formerly used to engage the rear wheel drive and shift from forward to backward was then used to control the choke and throttle cable. I did not like the idea of auto choke causing engine to start at full throttle. I am a little concern that plastic tabs on top of carb may break off. Wish they were metal. Thinking of alternative ways to attach control cable if this happens?

[@alexsmiles252]

i have a snapper riding mower that i rebuilt watching your videos .thank you by the way . its a briggs an stranton 9 hp . i have 2 wires left over . a green one and a brown one. any idea what the might be? its a pull started kind . also can i add an electric starter ? this pulling stuff gets dead real fast . thank you

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Your welcome, glad to hear my videos helped you rebuild it! It may be a recharge system or for lights. On some you can, you can look on the block and see if it has the 2 threaded bolt holes to mount a starter, if it does, then look at the flywheel, some came with the gear on the flywheel, if not you will need to change flywheels. Thanks for Watching!!!

Those springs on the back of the throttle Cable plate, how are they connected on a 7 horse Briggs?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

It should be similar to this, I'm planning on putting a video up this weekend on more detail on how the governor spring is attached. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@old64goat]

Great info., Thanks a lot

[@lorenhoward3854]

I have a john deere ezytrck it apears to have two cynder woth one choke cable and a separte throtle cable. I don't know how to adjust them; one of fhe cylinder is runing rich all the time and the plug getstops working . how do you adjust the chokes on this engine?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

It should adjust the same as in this video or close to it, it may be a in a different spot or look different but they all have some type of clamp on them. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@cherokeefiddler]

I'm dealing with a TroyBilt push mower with the Honda GCV160 engine with auto-choke. Is the lever that pushes the carb choke control supposed to return to "open" position after the engine catches? Is this controlled by heat or spring? Mine works the 1st time but the next time it will not close the choke. Also, on a Kawasaki on John Deere rider, can the throttle plate go bad? I keep setting my throttle and choke orientation but they move after I tighten down my throttle clamp. Thanks.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

I'm not sure on the Honda motors, but on the briggs that have the auto choke its a air vane that controls it, same way it works the governor, you could remove the flywheel shroud and see if thats what it is, its actually a decent setup when its working good. I have seen covers get bent and keep it from working. It can, but that wouldn't cause the cables to slip in the clamps, you might need new clamps, they could be bent and make sure there is no oil or grease on them that would make it easier for them to slip. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!!!

[@ontariohvac]

About the Cherokee's problem, I had two of those Hondas through here before I had to take a year's medical leave, and I haven't seen one yet this season, so I'm talking from old memory here, but if we're talking about the same gee-whiz contraption, and I think we are, the Honda choke was closed manually by the operator, extending a spring which slowly retracted and opened the choke whether the engine started or not. The Cherokee says: "Mine works the 1st time but the next time it will not close the choke." I presume he means he tries to reset the choke manually again, but it fails to engage the arm controlling the choke plate position. I hesitate to go into further detail from memory. However, I suggest the carb has been removed and reinstalled incorrectly. This is jolly good fun, involving a stack of seven components if I recall correctly, including the carburetor and a great vast heat shield and the bloody air cleaner body, which together conspire to hide the choke mechanism from view during installation. The components are stacked onto two bolts that screw into the block and hold everything together in proper compression. The air cleaner body holds the slider which is manually positioned by the operator to close the choke and extend the spring mentioned above. The choke control mechanism does not use linkages but rather control arms interacting as wipers. These control arms must be in the correct position and engaged blindly when the carburetor is reinstalled.

[@ontariohvac]

I was out of breath. To continue, proper engagement of the choke controls when installing the carburetor requires much thoughtful study by the rookie. Patience. Try, try again, until poof, the hex is dispelled, and everything slips together in perfect harmony. The dues must be paid; from then on, it's easy. So, Cherokee, unless something is broken, which is unlikely, the choke control mechanism is not properly engaged. If we're talking about the same carb, that is, but I'm confident we are. You can get a fairly good view behind the heat shield from the right. You might be able to see the control arm move when you actuate the slider, that will help you analyze the mechanism. If I'm right, the carb must come back off. That's when you earn your pay. Good luck.

[@love101a3]

Why my throttle is not corresponding with the engine to go higher I have ex mark Matro 36” 😕

[@garrettkent2537]

hi tried adjusting mine but it doesnt spring back, can I buy a new spring for it?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Yeah you can, first make sure it hasn't come loose, i've had them do that. If you need the part number give the model type and code off the engine so i can look up the exact #. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@garrettkent2537]

fnaguitarplayer9 I think it's more than spring, the governor has slipped a tooth on the inside, probably as handy get an engine

[@thomasmith1993]

Do u have a video on how to put a manual choke on a auto choke engine

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Check on ebay for most parts like that, the springs on the linkages themselves (that wrap around them) are just to keep everything tight, they will run without it but may cause a slight surge / lope. but if it doesn't then it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for Watching!!!

i have a briggs stratton intek 65 pro and wondering if that has manual or automatick choke... it has a realy hige rpm.. =)

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Not sure right off hand, but if it has a separate choke lever, then its manual. you probably have a governor issue or a linkage is hanging up. Thanks for Watching!!!

I have a 99 cent weed eater lawnmower with B&S with a 4.5 ftpsae..whatever, yadi yadi.....lol, you can already tell I don't know crap about lawnmowers....lol. Anyhow, it has an auto choke carb...and I would like to add the manual throttle. However, looking at my carb...it has 1 skinny spring and a regular size spring. Am I going to do away with these springs? It also has an "s" shape clip connects the choke to the governor? If I do away with the springs or "s" shape...it's gonna disconet gov.

I cleaned my carburator on my 10hp Briggs an now it idles at turtle speed an i have my throttle at Rabbit speed. what did I do wrong

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Sounds like the linkage that connects between the carburetor and governor arm may have came loose or the governor spring is broke or came loose while you were working on it. Thanks for Watching!!!

+fnaguitarplayer9 all that is fine I got it to idle up but then it cuts off.. I think I'm just gonna find a new card .. a new carb cost less than the bucket of carb cleaner

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

I hear ya, sometimes thats the best way to do it when they do that.

[@kenklingenstein627]

mine has two small wires how to hook them up

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

There will be a small hole right beside where the linkage connects, it will go in there, it just keeps the linkages tight. Thanks for Watching!!!
