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.

Can you take the throttle assembly apart and add a fiber washer and warped pressure washer to give it a locking action? -Friiy

You can temporarily put a small bungee cord on it to pull it to full throttle and hook the other end to something to hold it.   Then do a proper fix when it warms up.

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................

When working the machine, it should be run at max throttle. 

Mine is either idling or wide open when running.
