My throttle cable is enclosed in armour. That's all that holds it in place: clamps on the outside armour. That does not increase throttle cable pressure. Unless I'm not putting enough pressure on the armour to hold the throttle cable more securely.........

I'm not sure what gets the throttle control to slide back to idle. No springs I can find. I'm going to have to think a bit on this one.

It would seem if I can find a small spring and put on the throttle shaft, it might balance out.

Let me get back with you guys after a few days.

I've seen a little thing that fits over the cable with a bolt in it that bends the cable and in so doing puts some resistance to the cable sliding. Not sure what it's called, maybe someone else can help.

I can't get a good picture yet but there is a spring that pushes against the lever in the dash. If you look at yours does it have the spring on the shaft that it rotates on and pushes it towards the center? I think that will give it some tension but I dont know how much. I will try and get a good picture of it for you.

Well, no pics. The camera didn't work.

I'm going to put a spring on the throttle shaft where the throttle control connects to it, and see if that helps or not.

Make sure you attach it to the cable mounting point and not the governor or the carb.

Surely this problem isn't that difficult to repair. I think your asking for trouble adding springs........ But, it's your machine.

The quadrant on mine, each lever assembly.. like for throttle and for choke are wavy, sort of ribbed. That's the friction, at least in my case. If OP's are smooth, and there's no way to increase pressure on the housing, maybe taking the assembly apart and roughing up those sides, maybe sliding in a piece of sandpaper might add enough grip to keep it from slipping.

My guess is that your problem is with part #1. It probably has a bolt running through the center that can be tightened a bit to keep it from returning to idle on it's own but that is just a guess on my part as I have never worked on one.

I think OP might be the same guy who posted an identical question on MTF last week. I actually suggested looking for a center bolt like this and try to tighten it. IDK what happened to him but Im guessing that did not work.

Zoom in and you can sort see this guys wavy-ness between the levers and the housing. These are quite worn though.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
