Rumble, it's the bracket that is holding the throttle cable that is cracked. Briggs changed something in their bracket and they started cracking. Call the shop we made a fix for this last week, and we will ship you one out.

IS the motor hard to start? does it take a while for it to pop off? that would be the first sign that the key is sheared, |

The timing key is the problem behind the hard to start issue,the low rpms may be what was mentioned earlier about the cracked bracket. |

From what I read, the key is supposed to be for alignment only, not intended to hold the flywheel (the bolt does that). Huh, Learn something everyday. |

Lap the flywheel to the crank before you install the timing key, also stick a toothpick in the gap alongside the key if present. Once the flywheel is torqued down it isn't going anywhere without a puller. |

Went to the GT sho yesterday and it ended up being the broken bracket on the throttle assembly....The guys fixed it up and it is good to go.... |
