Great video! RedMax is by far the best brand (along with oldschool Solo blowers) imo. Your video helped me replace the new throttle assembly; the throttle assembly that I replaced was malfunctioning because a friend must’ve forced the trigger too far one way or the other causing the throttle to stay wide open. Upon inspection, everything was in place: cable slot on handle, screws, throttle cable to top of carb, kill switch, etc. The throttle cable inside the black tube housing the cable was completely stuck, even after spraying cable lubricant thoroughly through the throttle cable. Has anyone ever had their throttle cable get stuck inside the black throttle cable covering it? If so, perhaps the correct answer can save someone else from having to replace the entire assembly as I did. 🤘🏻
@@PNWSmallEngineandLawn 👍🏻. Thanks for the information. That was a tough one. If you get a chance, I’d like to know what you think about the new 9000. The 6500 is ideal imo (light weight, small size, and ample power for weekly mowing).
Very helpful , had trouble reattaching loose throttle arm.

I have had a cable break which caused it to be stuck. Some of the strands bind up inside the loom

You're good Mike...that's all I gotta say! Looking forward to the other Redmax blower repair.
I love these. I have this exact one for my personal use
I just had a similar problem took my throttle arm a loose and the cable came out the groove put it back together working fine
How’d you take out the arm?
Two screws on the back
