Additional information

This engine throttle assembly mounts near the carburetor and links the throttle control to the engine intake system. Part number 951-11311 allows you to adjust engine speed by opening and closing the throttle as operating conditions change.

If the throttle assembly sticks, bends, or fails to move smoothly, engine speed can become difficult to control. Common signs include uneven RPMs, surging, delayed throttle response, or the engine running faster or slower than expected.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental engine startup. Handle throttle linkages carefully during installation to avoid bending them, and confirm that all moving parts operate freely once installed.
