The first picture is the one I'm asking the question about. It runs on high all the time. Shouldn't there be a throttle lever like in the second picture? What part am I searching for? The third picture he's up the whole mower. It's a Craftsman.

Don’t see anything missing in the first picture. You have two totally different throttle controls. First picture is a constant throttle control assembly, no speed adjustment. The second picture shows a speed control assembly, which is setup to change engine speed. Different engines use di Speed controls.

The reason I think there should be a control lever is the Hi-Lo labels. If it's supposed to be left alone I don't know why the labels would be there.

Here's one exactly like it. I screen grabbed the pic from a YouTube video. I'm trying to figure out what replacement part to search for.

To me you‘re over thinking it. Labels are cheap, doesn’t mean anything to me. That model Tecumseh engine had dozens of different uses and different control setups. Better to look on the type of equipment that engine was mounted on. That will indicate which control assembly was used.

This is exactly the same engine. The red lever is the part I'm searching for. How do I find it?

I’ll bet that if you look on the engine ID tag you’ll find that the engines are different. You’ll also find that the linkage is different.
