15 minute throttle lever fix

I should have put this up before but never did. Just got through doing the 520 we'll be mowing with this Summer so thought I would grab a pic.


Remove cable.
Drill rivet.
Insert bolt with lock washer and lock nut.
Use speed clips and screws to reassemble.
Job done and it is adjustable from now on.

I like the speed clip technique. I think I will steal it.

Steal away lol. A lot easier than trying to get those dang nuts on. :rolling

I just did this on my 1988 416-8 this afternoon. I used a 1/4-20 bolt, flat washer and (2) 1/4-20 nuts (one was a jam nut with loctite because I didn't have a lock nut). It worked great and the throttle now stays at full throttle now. I can now see why you say to use the speed clips. Those little nuts were pretty tricky to get back on.

Thanks for the idea Geno!

You're most welcome Jimmy. Glad you got yours fixed.
