Wrench Set
Remove air cleaner housing. A 3/8" bolt holds the lower part of the housing. You also need to squeeze the breather tube in order to get it released. The bushing connects the throttle linkage to an arm on the carburetor. I had to first remove a piece of wire the mower shop had used for the purpose. The plastic bushing passes up through the hole in the carburetor arm. The throttle linkage then is passed down through the hole in the bushing. Then the bushing snaps on the side of the linkage, Check that the throttle works properly. The air cleaner lower housing may then be bolted back in place. The air filter and the metal plate that holds it in place can now be installed. The seal/breather (2) hold the metal plate in place when the air cleaner housing top is installed. Place one seal/breather on each of the two air cleaner studs. The air cleaner housing top can now be installed. The air cleaner top is held in place by the two 1/4-20 wind nuts.
