My automatic throttle no longer works?

99% of all self regulating throttle systems consist of springs and 1/16 inch music wire. is the engine a brigs n straton? if it is then u have overtightened the air vain regulator. the speed of the flywheel affects the speed of the engine. if the flywheel slows down,like in tall grass, the air vain moves closer to the crankshaft. the music wire atached to the vain moves the throttl arm on the carb to let mor gas into the engine. making the engine speed up. if the air vain is seized up or overtightend then the engin wil not alter its own speed. try this. take the shroud off and chek the air vain. c if it moves freely and it is conected to carb arm. k?
