Setting tension on the throttle (another tractor this time).

[Rod in Forfar]

Last winter I asked about the loose throttle on my Bolens G174 installed on a generator in my garage, tight to the wall. Once I understood the situation I leaned over the mechanism and drizzled a quantity of white Thread-Lok down onto the friction mechanism. The messy repair has worked very well through the summer and into fall. On the generator it allows me to hit 60 hz reliably on my Kill-A-Watt wired into the generator output.

Tbis time it is my TAFE 351, about a 1995 model recently retired to box blade and skidder duties. It gently reverts to idle whenever I take my foot off the throttle.

The photo below shows the lower end of the throttle shaft where it turns into a cable. Everything is snug, but it rotates easily. Is the adjustment done somewhere else?

Thanks,
