accelerator issue

14 years ago

Have a Honda lawn mower ( harmony II HHR 216 , OHC).

I had the control cable came loose and took it a part to clean and now it will not accelerate, it dies if I try to push the throttle stick forward. I took it apart 5 times and it only goes one way but it still act like choke is on and dies, I know I have it back together right and it did do this ( alittle) before I took it apart. Any ideas of what to destroy next???---helping advice only

When you push the cable forward, it should close the choke when it is at the very end of the push. There should be a clamp that you can loosen, which holds the outer side of the cable in place. Loosen that clamp and the cable will tend to spring back to approximately where it should be. Fine tune from there.

You clamp at the place where when you take the choke off, you'll hear a click and the choke will be fully off.
