Slippery throttle cable!
Bolens ST125
Model 3012G
B&G 12 HP engine 404707-0117-01
The throttle lever slides from full to 3/4 since I mindlessly put oil at the top of the cable and allowed some to trickle down the sheath. Now it won't stay at full throttle.
The mower mechanic said it needs a new cable but it's been BO'd for two weeks. I don't think he's going to find on. What's more... I don't think I need a new cable! I think tension can be applied to that cable to hold it where it's put by making some adjustment at either end... But I don't have experience with this type of adjustment ... if there is such a thing.
Anyone care to comment? Suggestion where to get a cable... if needed? Advise on making a simple adjustment.
P.S. I have a parts and service manual if you need to direct me to a sketch or page.
