Hey All,
I just acquired an old edger that cost a grand total of 10$. 25 hours of labor later I have it running fairly decently but I'm having an issue with the throttle.
Engine: 090212-0216-01 -- 91100103
1. I dont have a throttle lever for it but im assuming i can just find a side mounting one online that will work unless anyone knows of a better idea.
2. More importantly, the throttle cable is not increasing the throttle as it should or not at all really.
The throttle cable comes from underneath and hooks into the same adjuster the spring is connected too. The spring hooks into the air link vane, and that hooks into the blade governor.
As far as I can tell the governor is working correctly as it appears to provide resistance on the spring.
I thought the spring might be bad but it "seemed" ok. I went and increased the tension on the spring (by making it shorter) and this enabled me to get maybe an 1/8th of the throttle to move.
I just want to have a reliable way to throttle up and throttle down.
Does anyone have any ideas on what i could do or maybe know something about this engine I could be missing.
Thanks for any help!
Pics are before the work was done (just in case someone noticed all the rust in the tank)
