    Question:
    359 throttle rod issue - it seems like the rectangular end that goes into the handle goes too far into the handle and passes the hole it goes through. when I put downward pressure on the blade and press the trigger, it gets hung up. is there a way to adjust the distance so that end sits mostly in the rectangular hole? I just replaced the operator presence lever and trigger assemblies, new bellows and still have the same problem. can post pics if this isn't clear. thanks in advance!

      It could be an alignment problem as that linkage got to also touch the throttle trigger at rest.That linkage could already be bent which causing that problem or there is a problem with carburetor binding or how you the trigger installed. Just thinking kinda need it in my hands as I don't see many of these in the shop here.
