AMRIV1983 2 #1 Posted May 7, 2012 My 520 Throttle Cable will go from Full throttle down to 3/4 only while mowing my yard. Any ideas what would cause this??? Thanks Addison Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
312Hydro 473 #2 Posted May 7, 2012 Mine used to do that because the hood hit it . The welting was worn out where the hood sat. Your 520 has a different hood though as it rests on top doesn't it? Maybe the rivet that holds the throttle lever needs tightened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
