i have an old husqy weed wacker that im trying to resurect after 6? years in storage.
it always had a stiff throttle. we would always use two hands to squeez the trottle, the set the throttle lock and run it WOT 100% of the time.
since ive had it apart i can find the cause. after the throttle cable leaves its cover, it wraps 90 degrees over a curved plastic peice, then hooks into the throttle linkage on the carb. the friction rubbing over this peice is causeing the stiff throttle. sorry its a sketch, i cant lay my hands on the camera right now.
i tried greaseing up the plastic peice, no effect
i tried using an old peice of fuel line as a sleeve, no effect
any ideas on how i can make this thing work easier? my trigger finger is gunna fall off!
