The throttle works as on start the engines slows and on run it speeds up to full revs, however once the throttle is moved to the off position the mower keeps running at full throttle. mad

I have checked the cut out wires in the carby and they are all in the correct position. I have removed them and reinstalled them but the machine does not want to turn off.

WTF

Any ideas as to what could be causing this problem?

Hi VC Victa,

Have you checked the throttle cable where the screw goes into the plastic (air filter end) for the adjusting of the throttle. What happens is that the plastic is supposed to screw on the throttle cable in order to adjust it for higher RPM's and for the correct stopping position.

Do you subscribe to the parts list and manuals area as it has workshop information on how to set it up including pictures?

Also when you put the throttle control to the stop position you should have a match head gap between the throttle control and the plastic air filter housing when in the stop postion. cheers2
