Stuck foot throttle

carluman · Jul 2, 2004

Just checking to see if anyone else has had a problem with the foot throttle sticking sometimes (will do it several times in an hour while using foot throttle). Basically what happens it is just sticks after letting off. To unstick it have been just tapped it with my foot.

If no one else has had the problem I'll just have a look around.
Thanks

Just thought I'd note that I seemed to have had this problem with hand trottle today as well.

Carl,

Sounds like the throttle linkage could use some lubrication----WD40 would work in a pinch---but there are much better lubricants on the market.
This is not a common problem with these tractors----has to be binding -up somewhere in the linkage----which is all outside and fairly easy to get to.
