I "inherited" an early '90s craftsman push mower. The throttle was apart. Here not sure how to put it all together - what goes to what? There is a spring loaded wire, a 'throttle link' glorified straightened paperclip (broken). What hooks up to what?

It is a Craftsman 917 383220
the engine shows a 143 394942 SER9026R

Engine runs if I prime it....

Many thanks!

Look for data plate on engine & post everything including manufacturer.

Mark - the number on the back was the 143 394042 SER9062R - stamped in the metal on the top shroud right above the spark plug.
I really expected to see B&S somewhere, but I don't see anything else. Where else is there to look?

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Looks like a Tecumseh but I reckon it's B&S.
