The cable just changes the spring tension on a governor, it's complicated..
I'm guessing the throttle is stuck open, and needs to be wiggled free, and a
spot of oil.

Haven't used the California lawn mower since last season, and, well, after I
pulled on the Honda cord a few dozen times with the choke held open, it
finally started.http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/.../12721311..jpg

But, then, for the next half hour (as I mowed the lawn), it revved like
crazy, way high.http://youtu.be/fin8sYnbe1Q

Looking at the lawn mower, I can't see anything wrong with the cable
operation.http://youtu.be/Vw9OAJsw6vk

The filter is pristine clean (the mower is only one season old). The cable
moves smoothly. The choke moves smoothly. There doesn't seem to be any
adjustments for the carb.http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/12721319.jpg

So, I wonder: What would make the darn thing rev like crazy?


Maybe it's because he's trying to use a CA lawn mower in another
state..... Or maybe one of the 30 warning labels that says this
mower
uses gasoline and plastics which are known by the state of CA to cause
cancer, got stuck in the linkage.
