SOURCE: need instructions for reinstalling throttle

You have to take the carb and exaust intake off (they should be attached anyways) so you can turn the carb at the right angle to reinstall the cable.

SOURCE: i changed oil, blade, spark

Hi

Make sure the blade and shaft can easily be moved by hand. First, remove the spark plug wire from the plug. Reach under the mower and see if the blade will turn or if something is stuck between the blade and the mower. Also remember that you have to hold the safety bar when you are starting the mower or the engine won't turn. It is possible that the cable from the safety bar to the engine brake has come loose. Follow the cable from the safety bar to the engine and make sure it is working.Also check whether the line from the gas tank to the engine is crimped?
