I have a Briggs and Stratton 5 hp, that I replaced all the linkage for the carb and governor. With the side control, I can adjust the idle from slow to fast. I hooked up the throttle cable under the gas tank and now it seems like both are fighting each other and the whole throttle mechanism locks up. If I remove the linkage that is connected to the slow/fast adjustment on the side control, the throttle mechanism under the gas tank is freed up, but there is no direct link to the carb throttle. Am I missing something? I know you all like pics, so I took a few. Please let me know if there are any additional pics you need. Same problem as this link, except I want to use the throttle under the tank and not the manual control.
