Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): snowblower, http www google, throttle linkage


Question
I havea gran prix (noma) 8hp snowblower and it runs fine but the throttle cable does nothing, if I do it manually by moving the throttle it revs fine, but while in use no good,  was wondering if there was a manual I could get that would tell me how the cable should be properly placed?

Answer
No manual that I am aware of.  Here is a picture, should be similar if not exactly like your engine as this throttle connection was very common from the 70's to the late 90's.

In case the link does not work, just Google "briggs 10 hp throttle cable connection" and then click on on Google's "Images" tab/link.

Let me know if this helps.
