Ok I'm trying to figure out how to install the throttle grips as I've never done it before. I believe I have them correct on the handle bars. I just don't under stand how it locks the cable sheath onto the metal part of the grip. I think the sheath just sits in the adjuster?
Anyways that's the first problem. Then next one is that I don't know if I need to cut the metal ball off the other end and notch it. But I was thinking if I did that the notch wouldn't hold and would come out of the throttle linkage since it's a cable and not the normal one that a mower throttle uses.
Now I have the parts ordered that were for my my other briggs 5hp.(can't use it atm needs rings) Including most everything in the pic below to hook it up. BUT the engine I'm using now has a bit different set up. I will still be able to use the spring and bracket for the spring in the pic. Buti;m not sure how it's gonna work with the way the throttle moves. And I really don't wanna remove the governor.
If anyone needs anymore pics let me know. I'm just kinda lost atm. My parts should be here tomorrow or the next, but I just wanna kinda figure it out now.
thanks for any help
Oh btw don't mind the kill wire for low throttle. I just left it hooked up for now till I get my new handle bars with the kill switch.
EDIT: heres a bit better pic of the linkage I need to hook to. Also the bracket on he right is removable.
