Timberwolf throttle creeping back arrrgh!

[Rowan the Bruce]

Anyone know why this happens to timberwolf/entec Tw 150 machines? at the moment I'm using the good ol' bungee method.

It started happening when one of the v belts snapped and stripped the coating from the throttle cable.

Vibration.

Has happened to all deisel timberwolf/entec chippers I have used. Bungee cord or a twig is what we end up using.

Happens to some of our Jensens too. Just chech tht the nuts are tight enough.

 

Happened with the jensen we had at college, just tightened the nuts, and put it back in position.

got this probelm too..... turns out the throttle sits in a plastic grove as this wears it the throttle moves.....u need to replace the whole component its about £50

Cheers I'll check it out.

Later models had a return spring fitted at the injector pump end, this is very easy to retro fit to earlier models, new cables i'm sure are under £50.00 and anyhow in 6mths time it will wear the same, all 150's from the factory should have been supplied with a bungee as standard

just undo the side cover (throttle side) and thighten the little 8mm nut on the throttle lever, no big deal my 190 does it all the time

190 has a different throttle, we put a dbl nut on these to solve the problem.
