Craftsman r1000 throttle problem

[r1000s]

Hi, I am able to start engine without pouring gas in engine ,I had to take apart the throttle control lever ,what had happened was I had taken apart the throttle adjuster last year and didn’t attach the cable tight enough so it slipped ,so had to take it out and adjust it. Also had to adjust the cable at the linkage and pushing it in direction towards front of mower. it’s still not perfectly adjusted but I can start engine somewhat normally ,will update more as I am able to work on it more if anyone is interested, Thanks everyone’s help and time .Take good care ,Alex
