Static Adjustment - Governor
With the engine stopped, loosen the screw holding the
governor lever to the governor shaft. Push the governor
lever up to move the carburetor throttle plate to the wide-
open throttle position. Rotate the governor rod in the
same direction. Hold the lever and rod in this position
while tightening the screw (diag. 38).
Linkage Installation
The solid link is always connected from the throttle lever
on the carburetor to the lower hole on the governor
lever. The shorter bend has to be toward the governor.
The governor extension spring is connected with the
spring end hooked into the upper hole of the governor
lever and the extension end hooked through the speed
control lever. To remove the governor spring, carefully
twist the extension end counterclockwise to unhook the
extension spring at the speed control lever. Do not bend
or distort the governor extension spring (diag. 38).
