tecumseh mower been played with setting for linkages

Not familiar with that exact engine
If the throttle butterfly is fully open when the engine is not running then the linkage is in a good enough position for the engine to at least fire up.
Most likely some more crud in the carb or the exhaust valve has closed up.
 
thanks fo the reply wil do a proper carb clean found a vid of what to do on that carb so will go through it when time allows

So why are you so obsessed about adjusting the speed ?
The bracket was most likely square on the the flange originally so you might like to take it off and give it a tap with a hammer.

We are using hammers now? it's micro thin pot metal. Two fingers is all you need.

Just a thought but didn't you say that the only time it ran was when the silencer had been removed?
 
Mine was doing the same thing. I thought it was crazy, that you couldn't adjust the speed, so I put a manual cable on it. It will run now at a higher rpm, but then it dies and won't restart without starter fluid. Weird
