4-Cycle Static Governor
Adjustments
The purpose of making a static governor adjustment is
to remove all free-play between the governor spool and
the carburetor (diag. 20). Any free-play here will result
in hunting/surging or erratic running. After completing
this procedure, always re-check the engine speeds
using the steps outlined in the following pages.
To set the static governor, do the following:
1. Be sure the engine is stopped or damage may
occur.
2. If equipped with a throttle control, place the throttle
in the high speed position.
3. Loosen the governor clamp or screw.
4. Hold the governor arm and link in the W.O.T. (wide
open throttle) position, then rotate the shaft or shaft/
clip assembly in the same direction and tighten the
screw.
