Hi,
I have a TORO 20073 walk-behind 22" lawnmower. The pull start is real hard, meaning I'm moving more than just the engine (it feels like that) when I pull the cord. I noticed that the cable running down the handle bars toward the engine (on the right side) (looking down at the engine) seems looser than normal. I think it's the "cable brake" or "traction control cable" (same thing??) I placed a dowel in the space to take up slack and the engine starts easily. How do I adjust that cable? Is this the same adjustment on both sides (both cables)? Or are the two separate cables doing two different things? The handle clutch release works: when pulled back the wheels don't spin, when pushed forward the wheels are moving and driving the lawnmower forward/assisting in mower movement across the lawn.
I couldn't find anything online about two separate cables. Any thoughts?
