Throttle slips
 

I've got a 1210 that will slip from wide open throttle to a lower speed while running. It it runs great at high speed (3000 RPM) with no vibration. As it slows, I first notice a little more shake, and then have to open the throttle again. I don't see any obvious tension adjustment at either the lever or engine end. I imagine this is a fairly standard component since it looks real similar to the one on my 1650. Any advice is appreciated.

Sounds like the throttle cable is slipping to me.:bigthink:

You probably nee to either replace the throttle cable or take the lever out of the dash and try to give the rivet a good whack with a hammer and tighten it back up.

Yep, what AJ said....

The cable is in good shape and not slipping. It's the throttle lever that slides down from full open to mid-range when operating. Sounds like a job for a big hammer. Thought i could get away without pulling the fuel tank and removing the speed control. Wishful thinking on my part.
