Throttle lever not controlling carb after carb cleaning

I have a Husqvarna 23 hp B&S zero turn mower. It was running rough so I removed and cleaned the carb and replaced gaskets. Now that I’ve reinstalled, the throttle lever will not reduce engine speed. See video. It appears to be idling high although manually moving the throttle will increase revs. Manually Moving the governor seems to be choking the engine. I believe I have reinstalled the linkages properly. Any suggestions on why it is idling so high and throttle lever will not control engine speed? Thanks

Bought this at an estate sale for $275. Starts on first pull and runs. Anything I should know about it? Was it worth it?

Vanguard 26hp starter replaced ,need help!

Hi all! I have an Emark zero turn with a Vanguard 26 horse power engine. The starter was bad so it was replaced. The problem I'm having now is that when I reconnect the battery the engine wants to turn over. I am reconnecting at the negative terminal and the ignition switch is in the off position. Maybe some wires were crossed or something. The starter and the solenoid are both new. What steps should I take to fix this? All help is appreciated.

Need help with Toro Recycler 22” SmartStow - Model Number: 20340 lawn mower, it stutters and then stops after about 10 minutes of mowing.

I need help diagnosing my Toro Recycler 22” SmartStow - Model Number: 20340 lawn mower. The lawn mower starts fine after 1 pull and can run for about 10-15 minutes. It then starts stuttering and stops running. If I try to start right away, it will not. If I wait a couple of minutes, then I can get it started again.

What I have tried
-New air filter
-New spark plug
-Fresh 10W-30 oil (I think I have the right amount in)
-Fresh 87 octane fuel
-Brand new carburetor installed

What should I look at next?
