    hi
    i have taken 2 more photos, one of the throttle control where it connects with a spring to the governor arm but i have no idea of which hole, or if i need more than one spring.
    i could put the tank back on to show the position but if i did that, a photo would show nothing as you cannot see between the tank and the engine as the space between…[Read more]

    hi
    here are 2 photos, one is the throttle mechanism that is controlled by the hand lever, as can be seen there are some holes in where some sort of spring connects this to the governor or/and the carb linkage, which you can see in the photo of the governor lever.
    with my dementure i cant remember what was on it 7 months ago when i put a new carb…[Read more]

    my unit does not have a second shaft with the adjustment, it is all done by the preload on the spring, hidden between the fuel tank and engine which as an engineer is totally rubbish design anyone with a brain could see my set up would cause problems.
    one has to question B & S design team, why have they got dozens of engines and types of the same…[Read more]

    hi
    yes i think you could be right in the that the spring anchor on the throttle lever could need bending, i think the reason it is not getting full throttle is the spring is in the way.
    no comments about obvious design flaws lol.
    thanks for all your help

    cheers richard

    hi i have already got the briggs manual and it is no help what so ever as to the relationship between the govenor and the trottle cable but you 56 pic looks like it could be the answer, it shows the spring connecting the throttle cable and the governor arm. will have another go and set it up as it shows on 56 and let you know

    hi andy
    below are the photos, one shows the fuel tank with the throttle cable connected to a bracket which moves as the throttle is opened with a return spring to help it go back to idle.
    the second one is difficult to understand if you are not familiar with this piece of kit, it is not a good photo as it is so hard to show but what it shows is…[Read more]
