Does anyone have any good ideas on how to connect a throttle to a Briggs Intek 190 OHV engine? I've searched the forum and found little. One guy connected the throttle to the governor but that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. So far, I've loosened the nut on the Turtle/Rabbit lever and have the cable connected there with a spring but the engine doesnt seem to accelerate/decelerate smoothly like it should. Any ideas?

On mine i had really good success by drilling small holes through the manual throttle lever so the cable can pass through from right to left. Then put a cable clamp on to keep it in place. Drill one more hole in the lever and attach a thick but flexible spring to that back around the air box. Then loosen that lock nut on the throttle assy you were talking about so it can move smoothly.

FYI i was also able to adjust the governor kick in by playing with the tabs and hole positions that hold the springs to actuate the governor. Take your time and adjust it and understand how it works. The only pain in the *** is you have to keep taking the tank off and on. I wouldnt allow it to turn over 4500 or so if you like keeping your rings in check.

Thanks

Thanks for the info. So far I have changed the setup by connecting the throttle setup by connecting the cable to the governor lever which is connected directly to the butterfly valve via a rod. This setup works but the cart is almost ridiculously fast-I have 2 daughters. I may try and re-connect it to the turtle/rabbit lever and adjust the governor. Any chance I can get a picture of the setup you ended up with?
