Need Information on Throttle hook up

[Chevyman1987]

I got a briggs 3.5 model 91212 ... How do you go about hooking the Throttle cable up as this is a tiller motor and has the throttle on the side with a lever see pic any info would help or pics would be great thanks

The simplest way would be to attach the cable to the existing throttle arm, with a return spring on the other side; you would also probably need to figure out how the tension is held on the stock throttle arm & illeviate it so it moves freely...

I suggest you familiarise yourself with the forum rules; so far, you've broke two by posting two identical threads (the other has been deleted) & by posting consecutive posts in each of those two threads... 4 posts that now count a one...

The arm is ribet on there so I really can't loosen it. Thats the first thing I thought of.

In that case, we need better, clearer pics of the throttle arm setup; I can't see past the choke linkages at that distance...

On the carb, there should be a small tab on the right hand side;
look closely, it should have a groove and a threaded bore.

That is originally (for differently controlled engines) the choke cable bracket; well half of it
the rest is a bolt and a washer

it will happily take a control cable, that you can attach to the throttle lever (part a on your pics)
Just make sure you add a return spring to the other side of the throttle, the pedal return will not help

Oh and you would need to disconnet the original machanism of course.

here's a hint:

Thank you so much I just went outside and looked so simple if I had looked closer I would have seen it but thank you again

Ok I found the holder for my cable but how do I rig it up so when I hit the gas it will go I looked and really don't see much where I could hook the cable up to has anybody else ran into this problem

Has anybody else rig up a cable on one of these if so could you post a pic on how you did it thanks

I haven't.. but here's what I'd do:
drill a small hole (red dot)
and cut the cable (two red lines)


thread the cable through the hole (from underneath!)
and attach a cable end


do not forget to add a return spring (said it before, and might say it again ) strong enough to move that lever back to idle!

I had to go a little bit different route but you gave me the ideal so thank you for all your help itsid now when the gas is push it does something thank you again
