Qualcast 35S throttle linkage

Enter a word or two to search the forum section and click the Search Forum button.

My Qualcast 35S kept flooding so I removed and cleaned the carburettor. I was not observant enough of what I thought was a simple throttle linkage. On trying to re-assemble, I see that the flooding problem may have been caused by the throttle not closing. I am not sure I have put it back correctly. Does anyone have a picture of this and/or can advise on how to reassemble the link?

Hello and welcome to the OLC Forum,

I think your flooding problem is most likely to have been caused by something lodged in the float valve or the float sticking for some reason rather than the throttle linkage. I shall look among my information for a picture for you in the next day so to try and confirm the layout for you.

Can you confirm the engine type fitted to your mower as that would help.

Regards

Ray.

Re posting a picture here there are some instruction in the forum guidelines section, whowever I have not been succesfull in locating any information among my bits and pieces to help either.

Going from memory your mower has the throttle cable attached to the governor linkage at the back of the engine with a single link attached to the carburettor throttle valve/butterfly, this is normally held in the wide open position with the engine at rest and is returned to the idle position by the engine governor system when the engine is running.

Hope this helps
