Throttle cable adjustment is necessary if the throttle lever does not 
operate the choke properly.

You can inspect choke operation by observing the movement of the 
choke arm, which is located on top of the carburetor.

1. Move the throttle lever to the 

CHOKE position. The choke arm 
should move counterclockwise 
until it contacts the stop post on 
the carburetor.

Push the choke arm with your 
finger to verify that it has moved 
as far as it will go.

2. Move the throttle lever to the 

FAST position. The choke arm 
should move clockwise until it 
contacts the stop post on the 
carburetor.

Push the choke arm with your 
finger to verify that it has moved 
as far as it will go.

3. If the choke arm does not move 

all the way to its stop in either 
direction, take the mower to an 
authorized Honda servicing 
dealer. Throttle cable adjustment 
involves related control plate 
adjustments.
