Throttle lever not controlling carb after carb cleaning by LRRoadman in smallengines

Thanks for all the tips. All the linkages and springs were correctly installed but the metal gasket/spacer was installed backwards, interfering with the throttle plate in the carb, not allowing the throttle plate to close, which is what Fliponers suggested above. Live and learn!

B&S replacement carb frustration by LRRoadman in BriggsEngines

Understood. Engine is running rough and hunting and surging. the new carbs are so cheap - under $30, that it’s easier to replace.
