Throttle adj on cub cadet pushmower
There is no variable throttle control for this model i.e there is no lever for engine throttle on the handle bar?
If yes, then engine speed is fixed and open throttle is normal.
The motion of the linkage is merely movement of the governor mechanism. Wide open is normal when engine is not running. The governor will close down the throttle as engine starts and reaches the fixed operating speed. There will be adjustments but on a fixed speed model only the running speed is considered adjustable.
