Throttle / Choke Control
The throttle control lever is located on the left fender of the
tractor seated in the operator's position, see Figure 4-1. This lever
controls the speed of the engine, as well as the choke when it
is pushed all the way forward. When set in a given position, the
throttle will maintain a uniform engine speed.
IMPORTANT:
When operating the tractor with the cutting
deck engaged, be certain that the throttle lever is always in the
FAST (rabbit) position.
Moving the throttle lever all the way forward activates the
engine's choke control. See Figure 4-2. Activating the choke
control closes the choke plate on the carburetor and aids in
starting the engine.
Refer to Starting The Engine in the Operation section of this
manual for detailed starting instructions.

I have been trying to assemble the steering wheel to the shaft, but it will not slide down to match up the retention holes. Is there something else I need to do? I have followed the instructions, but it will not match up. Figure 3 in the manual.
To properly assemble the steering wheel to the shaft on a Troy-Bilt TB30:
1. Use a 7/16" bolt (A4 20 bolt) to reduce play between the steering wheel and the shaft.
2. Place a washer on the backside of the bolt.
3. Secure the bolt with a lock nut.
4. Add a second nut on top of the lock nut to prevent loosening.
5. Tighten both nuts using two 7/16" wrenches.
6. Ensure the steering wheel moves the shaft directly with no play.
This setup ensures a tight connection between the steering wheel and the shaft.

The throttle cable may not be engaging the carburetor on a Troy-Bilt TB30R if it is not properly adjusted or seated. Even if springs and linkages are connected and moving freely, the cable itself might be loose, stretched, or misaligned, preventing it from moving the throttle lever on the carburetor effectively.
