Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Simplity Regent Choke linkage, straight arm, paperclip


Question
Hello John: Recently cleaned carb (Walbro LMT) and linkage came undone before I had a chance to see how it was attached. Tractor is Simplicity Regent 15HP (1693911) with Briggs motor 31F77-0110E1. I have searched under Briggs, Walbro and Simplicity and can not find where the linkage attaches. It has a hook on one end that attaches to the carb/choke but the other end is what I can not figure out. That end looks like a paper clip and it slid over some part that controls throttle and choke. I have taken it apart and tried varios spots without any luck. Any suggestions on where I can find a picture of where it goes?


Answer
I don't know where any pictures are located for this. Unfortunately if you haven't worked on this stuff before, it can be hard to locate. I suggest you look on the bracket that the throttle wire is hooked to, it will either have a straight arm that is made to pull the paperclip shaped linkage or it will have a flat arm that pushes it. The linkage fits through a slot in the bracket.
