Just Yankee ingenuity at work.

It was this tiny little return spring on the throttle, someone broke it or lost it or something

Wife and I go to Farm&Fleet a lot. She likes shopping there. I bet they have your parts.

I don't even have the spring to compare to. I'm not super worried about it. It's a pretty tired mower. Mowed probably thousands of acres with it. It struggles with thicker grass most of the time

Our terminal was on Courtland across Morton Ave. from the new F&F. Back in the day there was nothing there but corn fields.

The Peppermill Restaurant was across Courtland from the terminal with Grimms Truck stop behind that where the new truck stop is now. Cats building that was never finished was up near 74. That was about it in 1980. Lovelace had a terminal behind ANR on Courtland, that is where the street stopped.
