310 throttle

[mark puttkammer]

G148 has trottle that goes under the gas tank, the lever is broke,
so a wire goes to the link. This runs, but i think it is the problem
when the engine shuts down. It pops when I start it again. I
check the carb and the throttle is all the way down, it really
doesn't go full throttle ever and there is a lot of pressure on the
linkage as if it will never open up. I adjust it all the way full and it
still has a lot of tension on the spring. If I find someone who has
the broken link under the gas tank and replace, will that solve
my issue. Is there a way of just adjusting the throttle with a
cable like the choke, so i can force the engine to do more than
idle? When the engine is cold, it seems that the throttle wants to
work better, there seems to be a little more movement.

Can't help w/ the linkage, but we have new Throttle Handles in the making. Been a long project, but we should see them next week.

my machine is in pretty amazing shape. But the little arm on the end of the rod is broke off. I wonder if it is weldable, and what the org. one looked like

Is this the arm you are needing? It is on the right side just under the battery tray.

 

[mark puttkammer]

yes, there is also a spring that is disconnected under the batt. tray and there is an arm in that area that goes thru a plate that is for something that must be connected to that spring or linkage. I have a long bar that goes along the engine that the wire is connected to. Do you have a better diagram or photo of these links?

 

[VACLee]

Here is the diagram from the parts manual. Hard to get a good picture of a complete one with the sheet metal intact. Maybe this will help.

I didn"t pay enough attention to your question. You need G1082 Lever, but they are not available anymore. I had to make one of those this Winter. Wasn"t too bad. I got a bushing w/ the correct ID for the shaft, then welded an arm to it, drilled a hole in the bushing for a roll pin, & drilled a hole in the arm for the lever. I am NOT a machinest, but looked good & works well. Stronger than the original pot metal piece of $hit CASE used.

Makes me wonder why they made that arm a weak link. Now all i need is a G13475 rod for the foot throttle and rod G10746 and make the G1062, then hopefully it won't idol down when warm.
