Newbie Questions

Re: Newbie Questions

On your throttle sticking, be sure to check the breather tube that connects under the air cleaer base and goes to the back of the block. If that tube is off, it will bind the throttle lever, it has happened to me when the air cleaner has been removed and not properly reinstalled. Good luck and welcome.

Michael, you nailed it on the head! Apparently someone at the auction had removed the air cleaner assembly and not replaced it properly. I put it back together and everything works fine now. I'm sure glad it wasn't a motor mount!

Again, thanks to all for your helpful comments!

Great, glad I could help. Since I am not a professional mechanic I always try to start with the simplist, cheapest, and most logical things first. Motor mounts are way down the list.
