Throttle speed lever is loose - ARIENS 1332LE

The throttle speed level on my ARIENS 1332 LE is loose and will not stay in position. Can anyone provide instructions to adjust lever? Thanks.

I am having the same problem on my 1128le . I am currently using the bungee method that Borat has suggested, it ain't pretty but it works.

My 1332LE is doing the same thing, however mine still holds at full throttle since the detent at full throttle still has tension. It however does not hold position at 3/4 throttle and less. I haven't pulled the cover to look at it yet but am guessing that it is a rivet with a spring washer. My thought is to take the lever assembly off and flatten the rivet a little tighter. Does anyone else experience governor hunting and occasional backfiring?? Mine does, I think due to the fixed main jet having a burr, or just not drilled to the proper size. I think they run these things too lean probably due to government mandates. A little richer jetting I think would makeup the power that mine seems to lack................
