3320 Throttle

MikeyB · Mar 24, 2014

Took my 3320 out today and the throttle will not hold a consistent rpm. It is not an engine problem but a hand throttle problem. I will set an rpm using the dash mounted hand throttle and it will drop to a lower rpm. If I set it at a higher setting it
will drift down and settle on a lower rpm. I took a quick look at the linkage(s) and saw nothing obvious. Does the 3320 have an internal friction setting that can be adjusted like my old 8N? I checked the owners manual and couldn't find anything
about this.

Thanks,
Mike

You need to tighten nut(E)

Thanks Gents! I guess I will have to bite the bullet and buy the repair manual. It will be interesting to see how much I need to remove from the tractor
to reach that nut! Hopefully the dash doesn't need to come apart.

My 4410 has a similar setup with similar problems. I was able to take the bolts out that hold the plastic panel on and sneak a wrench down into there and tighten that bolt without taking everything all apart. Good luck.
