To add a throttle cable to a Briggs and Stratton carburetor without a manual throttle, first, ensure that the carburetor is compatible with a throttle cable assembly. Next, you’ll need to install a throttle control lever on the engine's frame or handle that can connect to the throttle cable. Attach one end of the throttle cable to the lever and the other end to the throttle linkage on the carburetor, ensuring it’s properly secured and adjusted for smooth operation. Finally, test the throttle functionality to ensure it opens and closes the carburetor's throttle plate correctly.

If the mower has a shift knob control for "Start" "Run" and 'Stop', the kill switch will be on the end of the cable that leads to the throttle bracket. If the mower has the safety handle that shuts off the mower when it is not depressed, the kill switch will be at the end of the cable that leads from the handle to the engine. If the mower is operated with an on-off ignition switch, the kill switch wire will be spliced to the switch "off" wire some where between the throttle cable and the switch.
