Ok here is my problem, A guy gave this thing to me for free. One of my friends of course. But not sure how ruff he was on it. I can get it running for a few short mins, until I touch the throttle then it dies. The throttle switch can move past 180 degrees Like it's broken. I was wondering if this is why it runs then die out as soon as u hit the throttle.

 

If you are talking about the thumb throttle moving too far (I've seen this before) could be causing etc to short out and kill machine. Sounds like a new throttle housing is needed? OPT
