Thank you for posting this video! My father passed away and left me his T240 riding mower. The throttle broke the other day while mowing, and I did not know how to fix it. You made this very easy to follow, and I appreciate your help!

Nice to know that I am helping out. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you for the video, it was very helpful. I used the information in your video and I repaired the hole for the cable using super glue and baking soda.I then drilled the hole out using a 1/16 drillbit. I saved some money, and it works like a charm. Your video saved me time and money.

Nice work! Thanks for the comment.

Thanks! I'm on my third one, but now I can do it without having to pay $100 or so. Also, thanks for the tip of spraying the cable with lube. It glides easily now, and i think that may be part of why these things don't last...

[@hemispherecars5616]

Hope it lasts a long time. Thanks for the comment. One for an LT2000 will last a lifetime, but you have to be willing to do a small amount of fabrication. It is all metal.

Thank you for the video, it helped me with my T310 craftsman mower

[@hemispherecars5616]

Great to hear! It's often a learning process for me also.

[@bradleykornele]

On 3rd one now

[@hemispherecars5616]

Here is a little secret. If you buy one for an LT2000 and install a metal plate to put it on, it will last decades. I have a new one for an LT2000 just waiting in storage.

[@bradleykornele]

@@hemispherecars5616 will look into that as I don't know why they have cable just hooked through drilled out hole in plastic keeps ripping through plastic

[@AircraftMechanic-AP]

Mine just broke the other day. Less then 3 years old.

[@hemispherecars5616]

Yes, if it was made of metal instead of cheap plastic it would last decades. This way they can sell lots of replacements. Thanks for your comment.

I'm a woman who's hubby stays out in oil. Field.

Or. Will. Butterfly spring adjust it automatically ???
Letting it cool a minute right now....
Burnt the snot outta my finger on muffler 😂😳🤣

[@hemispherecars5616]

When it's cool put the Throttle on Choke ( Rabbit ) all the way up. Remove the hood. Take off the air filter ( So you can see the butterfly valve "choke" ) and move the Throttle so it is slightly choked and tighten. You will have to probably adjust it a few times to get it so it starts and runs properly. You might want to have some starter fluid handy. Hope this helps.
