Default Throttle quadrant needs a fix

My 3205 throttle quadrant needs a fix. p/n 603-0586.

The throttle, when not on full throttle, comes back to idle. Choke is fine.

Does anyone know how to fix this quadrant?

Look in the manual and see if it says anything about it. My guess the throttle lever on the dash is worn out.

Agreed. Nothing in the manual.

I'm hoping someone has a fix for the throttle quadrant

I don't think that enough people here own that new of a machine that will be able to help you. Figure out whether the friction is in the throttle quadrant itself or if its in the assembly on the engine. If its riveted together you can usually take the assembly and pound the rivets together a little tighter with a hammer and a punch.

I need to check mine for you but I think J is correct. I'm thinking but not 100% sure the tension is in the throttle assembly on the carb and not the dash levers.

Good points. I hadn't thought of it being on the cable end where the tension is. I'll definitely check that tomorrow.

If it's in the quadrant, I'll bite the bullet and pull mine apart and see what it takes to "fix" it.

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.

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.
