My friend has a lawn mower with a Briggs and Stratton engine that has no throttle control. And that Craftsman lawn mower that I posted about before, with a Craftsman engine, also has no throttle control.
Can I add one to each of them. Why don't they have them in the first place?
(PS. The Craftsman I posted about a couple months ago seems to be running now, at least for 5 minutes (see next post for follow-up on my previous problem) but it has a 6.5 HP engine that will only run at full speed. It ran so fast, it sucked up all the pine needles from beneath the tree, and I could see that there was no grass, only dirt. The 2.5 HP engines mowed the lawn well enough without sucking up the pine needles. If I had grass there it would be ok to suck them up, but it's so shady and I walk on it so much, I don't think I can grow grass. At any rate, I don't want to run the engine at full blast, even if maybe it is more efficient that way?)
