My old 404 is running like a three legged dog today. Have the choke pulled all the way out just to keep it running, and even that's not enough sometimes.

Maybe not having to work on them when they need to be doing other things, but being that they are simple enough that we can repair them without a degree in engineering.
That being said : Why does my throttle creep down slowly when I let go of it? Is that normal and I should have to mow with my hand on the throttle, or is there something I can tighten?
