Additional Information
The snowblower engine throttle control assembly, part number 951-11213, connects the throttle lever to the engine linkage so you can increase or decrease engine speed as needed. Proper operation allows the engine to respond accurately to throttle adjustments.
You might notice the engine does not change speed when the throttle is moved, runs only at a fixed speed, or responds inconsistently during operation. Stiff movement at the control, slack in the linkage, or a throttle that will not stay set can also point to an issue with the assembly.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The throttle control assembly installs near engine linkages and metal brackets, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Make sure the linkage moves smoothly and the throttle responds correctly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
