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.

Ok, so I removed the throttle linkage from the side control that looks like a paper clip and the big spring located to the left of the throttle as seen in this pic.



That seems to be the fix and the throttle is now operating independent of the side control.
