I took the carb apart, cleaned it and put a new o-ring on the emulsion tube.
I attached the throttle control plate which was laying on the deck......
Took cowl off the clean flywheel area and clean rust off coil ends and flywheel faces. and blow dirt out of starter cup.
Found some data on ODK posts on Tecumseh ,which are excellant..... Watched a few youtube videos on cleaning Tecumseh carbs etc.
It started forth pull, and ran at half revs.. I let it warmup and run for a while and mowed some of front lawn or grass seed stalks.....
I've just gotta read up on throttle problem, but it's a good problem to give brain a challenge. As we get older , we have to never stop learning..............
cheers
