Were you greasing the flex drive cable? That is really the only part requiring it unless you have a gear drive on the string head. Attatch the throttle cable onto the throttle plate hole which gives you the least amount of slack with the trigger off. That way, throttle response will be instant.You don't want but a little slack in that cable.
The throttle cables aren't adjustable. Make sure the other end is on the trigger correctly and that it is routed through the handle and the engine cover correctly. Also, make sure the throttle shaft and throttle plate (inside carb) are free and easy in their movement with the throttle cable off. The engine idle speed adjusting screw may be in too far also. Back it all the way out and then back in with the throttle closed Once the speed screw touches the throttle lever (what you hook cable into) on the shaft, give it about 2 turns in.

instead of an hour $40 or more job. The problem is that you will
not find this in most home centers or box stores. You will have to
Is the pull rope in the front or rear of engine.Thinking that the string is in the front,you must throttle housing and shaft from engine. remove starter housing. There sould be a screw holding the string and spring in place.
