  Q: How to check and adjust the Throttle valve cable for freeness?

  A: To check the Throttle Cable for freeness, pull out on the upper end of the cable a short distance. A light spring resistance should be felt, indicating the presence of a small return spring on the T.V. lever and bracket. Pulling the cable out farther will cause the lever to contact the T.V. plunger and plunger spring, resulting in a greater resistance. Releasing the cable should allow it to return to the zero T.V. position. Whenever the Throttle Cable is disconnected from the carburetor, it must be adjusted upon installation. After connecting the cable to the transaxle, install the cable fitting into the engine bracket and attach the cable terminal to the throttle idler lever. Rotate the throttle idler lever to its 'full travel stop' position to set the automatic choke adjuster correctly, and then release the lever. If readjustment of the Throttle Cable is necessary, depress and hold the metal lock tab, and move the slider back through the fitting away from the throttle idler lever until it stops against the fitting. Release the metal lock tab to disengage the automatic adjuster, and repeat the previous steps.
