choke cable 1450 ?
 

My choke knob starts pushing out as the tractor is running. So it's after 30 seconds or so it's out enough that the motor won't hardly run. The butterfly is totally free since I just rebuilt the carb. It was doing this pior to the carb job, so I'm guessing something is screwed up with the cable. Suggestions? How is the cable removed from the dash tower? :BlahBlah:

Figured out the problem. PO had installed a huge plastic wing nut on the breather. It was rubbing on the engine cover causing the breather to vibrate on the choke cable while running. All good now.

Glad you got it fixed, Eric! :ThumbsUp:
