This is a TVM140-70416M engine on a snapper type 10 mower on a just recently inherited non-runner. It has the Type 1 carbeurator.
I changed the plug and it would start, but it wouldn't run under high-ish load. I disassembled, cleaned, then reassembled the carb. I have a rebuild kit in hand but before I do I thought I would ask:
In the photo attached there are two screws on the top plate, and one that secures the throttle cable clamp.
Is it recommended to adjust these three before adjusting the mixture and idle speed?
How do you adjust these?
I adjusted the two top screws so that the bell crank would engage the choke "squarely", but then I couldn't adjust the clamp so that the throttle butterfly would open fully when the throttle is at rabbit. Maybe my idea of "square" is wrong?
Also, the governor and carb linkages are not detailed in the engine parts list or the mower manual. I'm wondering how to confirm my linkages, especially the springs, are installed correctly.
