044 throttle rod linkage

[Adam08ski]

I am at a loss, this 044 shows no way of going from full choke to fast idle, flip the switch from choke to idle and it goes straight to normal.. The throttle rod goes straight from the trigger to the butterfly and the lever when flipped disengages the full choke butterfly and flies straight up to normal idle. It doesn't do the usual fast idle, blip the throttle to normal procedure... Any suggestions?

Check inside you're handle. That's controlled by the control lever up against the throttle trigger.

So are you saying there should be something between the handle trigger and this?

Not sure, I just know that this function occurs from the selector rod inside the handle. There's no carb function that does this, unlike some Husky's.

the bottom of your trigger catchs a lever that holds it on fast idle when you lift up on the choke lever. but don't touch the throttle or you'l trip the fast idle. one of those parts may be worn or broke.

I'll check that and it's been mentioned that it might be an old worn defective spring inside the actual switch on the right of the lever that isn't allowing the lever to stay in position.

Yes, the trigger should catch on the bottom the the master control lever for fast idle. If it goes straight to regular idle you either have a broken master control lever or trigger. All the action happens between the red master control lever and the trigger in the pics. I suppose the spring piece controlling the master control could be messed up also.

Yep, pulled the handle apart. Tiny bit worn off the bottom of the trigger. No longer catching. Should really have known this. It's the same as my 038...
