So I got a new key, mower starts but ran poorly (and smoked). I ended up cleaning the carb and checking the spark gap. Now mower starts first pull, but 'fast' throttle sounds like it's 'idle' throttle. I was going to adjust the governor-arm, but noticed a small spring not connected. Anyone know where this goes (and possibly, if you have a diagram that shows what all those springs / levers do) ?
When I reconnected the throttle cable, I noticed the lever would pull the whole cable through, rather than the metal wire in the hosing. Inspecting the lever I see the silver-nub on the end of the cable keeps popping out of its designated slot. There was some resistance to the cable being there, almost like the cable was twisted and not where it should be. Anyone have an idea or diagram of how the throttle lever assembly should be? Even though it was working before the main issue, I have a feeling it wasn't installed correctly *head-scratch*
Google images I haven't managed to find one yet.
