HOW TO ADJUST THE SPEED GOVERNOR on your SNOWBLOWER. This video is for the TECUMSEH ENGINE. **Ideal RPMS for this engine at full throttle is 3500-3600**
Fantastic ! Your videos are so clear and easy to follow. I am a mechanical novice but I have found instructions to bring my snowblower back from disrepair. Thank you!
Thank you so much for you kindness, your altruism and your good explanations. You save me a lot of time, you give me the opportunity to learn how to do it instead of being totally dependent of a service, in a place with a shortage of mechanic technicians and where the service is so expensive and slow. You save me too hundreds of dollars and I'll be more safe as a winter storm is ahead. Thank you so much you're a great man !
thank you. because of your videos i could save my old yard man. my service station wasnt able to do the job properly but because of you i could do it myself. they told me the price for the hours of the mecanics were too expensive an it would be better to buy a new one. i mean they were right, it was a lot of work, but i have time (but no money ;)) and thanks too you i could fix all problems by myself. Greetings from Austria
I must thank you for your very informative videos. I purchased a year old 8 ½ HP Yard Works for my father two years ago but didn’t really check it out. This year I noticed the snow blower was over revving and shaking its self to pieces. With advice from my brother in-law to check your videos, I was able to get the snow blower running correctly. Thank you again. Now I have a new reference for all of my small engines.
Thanks! My first attempt at small engine repair and this, plus another video of yours was all needed to solve the problem. Appreciate the work that went into this teaching aid.
Super helpful! Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. I'd replaced the carb and had to remove the governor arm. Now I know what i have to do to reduce the full throttle RPM.
My snow blower was running like crap so I had a friend take the carb off and take it to a friend of his and the guy took it all apart and cleaned it good. After putting it back on the snow blower the engine would race. Well my friend got sick so he hasn't been able to fix it. I found your video and now it runs like a charm! I just have to adjust the high throttle screw at the throttle handle to let the rpms come up just a little bit more. Thanks!
I just want to say Thank You. My 8.5HP Tecumseh engine was revving realy high. Thanks to your video I was able to adjust the govenor, now its running like it should. Once again Thank You.
After changing the oil seal I was a bit confused how the governor linkage should be correctly connected , your video help to clear it out. thank you for posting.
Just want to say thank you Donyboy73 for sharing all your engine know-how! You have single hand-idly saved me from having to shovel myself out of this Nor'easter. My snow-blower is running great because of you! Thank you. Thank You. Thank You!!!!!
Thanks for the video ! A few years ago I had my snow blower serviced and it just seemed like it never ran well. The small engine repair man said he worked on it for a while and got it as best he could. This company has been in business for 30 + years and yet they still didn't make it run right. It always seemed to idle slow. I just followed your tip on adjusting the screw on the throttle lever and it ran perfectly!
awesome videos. I just got a Jacobson Homelite 824 with a Tecumseh 8HP engine for free that "didn't work." Cleaned the Carburetor, changed the belts, changed the fuel line and spark plug and it runs greats. The carburetor linkage and screw adjustment videos were extremely helpful. Thanks for the good info.
I wanted to thank you. Came back from a mechanic and I needed more throttle. My snow would throw 5 feet and engine would die out and needed multiple manual restarts. Turned in throttle mechanism screw one turn. Snow throws 12 feet, not once did it stall, more than enough power. You made cleaning out from snow a pleasure. Thanks for also teaching me a lot about carb adjustments and throttle and governor adjustments. It was a mystery art before you explained it, now it's science. Real cool. I subscribed.
Thanks for this video -- I had this exact problem after rebuilding the carb on my snow blower -- this saved me a lot of time and agony trying to figure out what I had done :).
Thank you! I took my carb. apart to clean it and put the linkages in the wrong place. I also had the governor out of adjustment. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. We just got about 18 inches of snow and I really wasn't looking forward to shoveling.
Donyboy73: Just wanted to thank your for your excellent videos. When I started my Ariens Snow Blower this morning it was racing like crazy. NO idea why this would have occurred. I have never done anything to the carb, and it was running fine yesterday. Followed you instructions and was able to fix the problem by adjusting the governor arm. Motor ran great after that, but the unit would only throw snow a few feet and got bogged down in high drifts. Went back to CZcams and found your video on adjusting and replacing the V belt. Thanks to your excellent video the hardest part was finding the right belt. - I did find a cotter pin puller to be very useful in getting the belt aligned on the wheel. Very grateful for your help.
You are my savior. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Now I have a snowblower that doesn't rev like crazy and keep moving speed around and the idle now works. I might neeed a deep clean though because I was only able to adjust it with choke adjusted at notch 2, 1 being close and 4 fully opened.
I know this is a very old video, but the info is still so useful on all our old Craftsman machines with Tecumseh Snow King engines. Thanks from the future! 😉
Thanks Don! As always, you are my go-to for my small engine issues! As you mentioned, I replaced the carburetor and took off the governor arm for the linkages and didn't re-install it in the correct position. At full throttle I was turning at 4200 RPM!
Thanks for all the info it sure helps to understand how to I am sure you had alot of troule shooting experience great job and thanks again not every one can take a snow blower in for repairs due to low income or time . It's nice how you explain things I would recommend adj. To the original specs. Thanks again
Wow ! After unassembling the carb, I just reassemble my snowblower and it has an unstable rpm. I just set the governor screw (try & test) at the "right" place, no thing else change, and now it run so smooth and powerfull. Thanks a lot :).
I got mine running great today. FYI, the length of the longer rod (the one from the governor to the throttle control) is about 6.5 inches and the shorter one (the one from the governor to the carb throttle) is about 4.25 inches. Thanks for the informational video. Also, the position of the rods seems to be important. I had the longer rod in the wrong hole. I used the hole that's in your video.
Thank you so much for putting together this great video. I had the carb on my Tecumseh 9.5 cleaned and have been battling this high idle issue for about 2 months. After watching your video, I made a few adjustments (mainly the idle control being the culprit) and the machine ran like a champ!
i'm happy you got this video in here, i just bought a blower and rebuilt the carburator. my trottle dint work at all. i tryed everything and seem to me that my throttle linkage was not right. i have seen your video and it confirmed my problem, the guy intaled the linkage upside down so the rod is going under the gas pipe instead of on top haha. thanks for the video it helped me alot
Yesterday I replaced the carb, (didn't touch the governor, control arm), adjusted idle screw and carb adjuster at bottom of bowl but still way over revs. Will look at governor arm and throttle spring next. Of course the machine is 21 years old and don'e own me a dime. Thanks for the direction!
Don, I’m learning new tricks all the time! The Tecumseh carbs seem to be the most challenging or maybe just a bit intimidating compared to briggs or Kohler stuff. I got a Tecumseh carb all cleaned up & running good. Idle speed is a bit too much.
Donyboy, my confidence in my abilities to work on my own engines has skyrocketed since I started watching your videos. Maybe too much. I'm stuck. New carb (non-adjustable) and some 1/4" internal fuel line had my problem child (Ranch King w/ 8hp Tecumseh) purring like a kitten. Then I tried fine tuning and screwed it all up! Stalls at full throttle. Tried various adjustment on high and low throttle speed screws. Governor hasn't been touched at all. Love your channel!! Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I am rather savvy with small engines because i am a tinkerer and a RC nitro tunnel hall boat racer. Some of the time there is a learning curve (BOOM) just once. With all the snow we have had here in ohio a snow blower is a must. I given the task to fix all of my fathers equipment that had been neglected for a few or 8 years. To save my back no curve allowed. Brother you rock, Awesome video. The beast is back, she is running like a champ kicking A and throwing snow. Thanks!
my next project is a craftsman 31cc weed wacker that sat for 3 years while i was away.when i pulled the plug i can see the varnishing inside. it used to run excellent better than others of the same cc now i can barely keep it started. do I want to do a complete tare down of the engine and walbro carb so it will run like new again. but i have never torn one down that far.maybe do some polishing (IE) performance mods, any advice? or videos? I can take a 3.5cc k&B pro outboard nitro rc motor and run it at 60 on the water. I just really cant afford the learning curve any more. I dont have the money i used to lol. Thanks again. oh when i was done with the mtd blower i did a whole city block so the kids didn't have to walk in the street. I had to play with it lol.
SPOT ON! This is exactly what my problem was, I had the gov linkage set way to far back from where it should be,m next time ill take pictures and come back to your videos!
Thank you. That was very useful and helpme have a bit better understanding of the linkages that i solved my reving problem after I put on new carb to old snowblower. I had bent the linkage up during assemble just enough to screw it up. :-) thank you
Hi There - just wanted to thank you for your videos, they have helped me rebuild my carburetor (Carb Kit) and place my linkages in the right spots as well as adjust the carb. Blower is now running like a top!
Two things need to be addressed in this video. 1. What is the down position for the throttle? Off of idle? 2. You mention where the governor arm should be when tightening the screw but you do not indicate where the piece the governor arm connects to should be? That piece coming out of the engine block moves about 15 degrees in either direction and has a major impact on if this works or not. Thanks for all your videos!
I've adjusted the governor already, yet it still goes to the moon unless I throttle it back down manually. and I already fixed a broken exhaust valve keeper from the excessive rpms when my friend had it. As a Briggs tech , I think its time to open up this Tecumseh and check the governor gear and the arm,unless you have any other ideas sir. Love your videos, they've helped me out quite a bit over the years.
Great tutorial! You explains things very well. I have a problem that is a related to the throttle lever, but is a bit different. I have a 1999 Ariens model 924104-ST1028 Sno-Thro with a Tecumseh model HMSK100 159391W emgine on it. I can raise the throttle lever & increase the rpms, but as I use the snow blower the lever drops & the rpms shortly drop off. So, I have to tie off the throttle leave in the max up position while snow blowing, otherwise the rpms drop off too much to blow snow well. I thought the problem might be the Tecumseh 34663 Spring as you showed in the video above. When I checked it out, it looks intact, in one piece, plus it does work when increasing the rpms. So, what could be the cause of losing the rpms? Sure would appreciate some help. I would prefer not to have to buy the entire Control Bracket Assembly P/N 34677. Looking for a less expensive fix if one is available.
On the engine in this video, is there a governor spring attached anywhere ? I am about to replace the carb on an identical engine. All I see is the two linkage rods hooked into top of governor rod. One to throttle lever, other to carb throttle plate. Thanks for doing the videos, they help alot of folks.
Very helpful video to cover what has been written up in a less-than- clear way in other places. I have a question though on my setup. Picked up a generator with the HM100 that has a piece of linkage with a spring built in running from the governor to the carb, almost looks like it is there to try to clear the exhaust. I have not seen this on any other Techumsehs or other generators of the same model. I’m wondering if this was stock or the issue I’m fighting is someone putting the wrong linkage on. Thanks!
I saw this years ago. You quite litterilly started my career in small engine mechanics. Thank you
Fantastic ! Your videos are so clear and easy to follow. I am a mechanical novice but I have found instructions to bring my snowblower back from disrepair. Thank you!
Adjusted governor arm as shown in this great video. Tested engine and it now runs great, ready for another 21 years of blowing snow! Thanks
Thank you so much for you kindness, your altruism and your good explanations. You save me a lot of time, you give me the opportunity to learn how to do it instead of being totally dependent of a service, in a place with a shortage of mechanic technicians and where the service is so expensive and slow. You save me too hundreds of dollars and I'll be more safe as a winter storm is ahead. Thank you so much you're a great man !

I've seen quite a few small-engine videos by donyboy 73 and they are all well done and informative for someone like me who is still learning!
A friend suggested your channel to help me solve a governor problem with my tecumseh engine. You sir, are a legend! Thank you soo much!
You are most welcome

Great Videos Dony. I find your videos informative, and easy to follow. Thanks
Thanks to your videos i got my tiller running again
Thanks for the reply.Now I know why you are so good on how to explain how to fix a snowblower..When I need help ,you are the one.to ask.Thank you.
You are my savior. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Now I have a snowblower that doesn't rev like crazy and keep moving speed around and the idle now works. I might neeed a deep clean though because I was only able to adjust it with choke adjusted at notch 2, 1 being close and 4 fully opened.

Thanks man! I was able to get my motor running with your help. Keep it up!
Best adjustment explanation so far.
You are the best.Was able to rebuild my carb. and repair my high speed idle with your help.
Thank you
I know the video is old but I own a old Snow King with the 8hp Tecumseh. This video really helped me out! Thanks Soooo Much!! 😁✔
Thanks for sharing the video. I was able to tune up the 8HP engine on my Ariens snow blower.
Another great video. I adjusted my full throttle rpms by just tightening the screw by the throttle lever.
Thanks Don! As always, you are my go-to for my small engine issues! As you mentioned, I replaced the carburetor and took off the governor arm for the linkages and didn't re-install it in the correct position. At full throttle I was turning at 4200 RPM!
thanks for watching
Thank you-----very clear, concise and to the point---Thanks again.
I watch a lot of videos of this sort. You are more of a teacher than just a how-to.
Thanks for all the info it sure helps to understand how to I am sure you had alot of troule shooting experience great job and thanks again not every one can take a snow blower in for repairs due to low income or time . It's nice how you explain things I would recommend adj. To the original specs. Thanks again
Great Video! Your are a blessing to all who want to fix their small engines!
Thank you Brother! you saved me a lot of work with this video and the Carb one! Ten-X thumbs up
Wow ! After unassembling the carb, I just reassemble my snowblower and it has an unstable rpm. I just set the governor screw (try & test) at the "right" place, no thing else change, and now it run so smooth and powerfull. Thanks a lot :).
Huge help and great photography Dony. Thanks.
donyboy73, keep up the good work: clear, concise, and good camera control. I learned a lot. Thank you.
You truly know your trade.Thanks again,& keep the videos coming,please.......................
Great job of explaining this issue! Thank you!

Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
Very well done, thanks for posting it's just the one I needed.
Terrific video donyboy73!
Thanks for sharing your expertise!
thanks man
great videos! changed the carb on a free simplicity I got. it runs perfect now. thanks
+ryan gray you're welcome
Thanks. Really good info for this problem. Much appreciated.👍
Just found you on CZcams. Your videos are super helpful thank you

exactly what I needed, great info - thanks!
These are the most concise and accurate video's out there. Love it.
@aaroncake good job! sometimes the spring gets weak inside so u have to tighten it, don't over rev it because u can snap the connecting rod
Thanks Donnie! This was exactly what I needed.
Thanks! I think you made this video exactly for me..... I took my carb apart and had the arm out of adjustment.
EXCELLENT instructional video. well done. thanks.
Thanks for this, I just rebuilt my carb and was having trouble getting the engine rpms on full throttle adjusted properly.
Dony,
I sure do enjoy your videos, so clear and easy to understand.
Thank you. Mike
thanks

excellent mechanic! Thank you so much for you video
Thank you for posting this.... it was helpful...
Thank you. Very good video young man.
Great thanks for taking the time to make this very helpful video

I love your videos..You are the small engine doctor in da house.
Thank you very much!
Very well put together and informative.
Thank you for posting this.
Thank you for the video, Just repaired Trx26.
thanks for your helpful videos!
Great video. Thanks
Great help - thank you!
Well done Donny, very helpful, Thanks
+Robert Appel thanks gerry
You pointed out what I did wrong and how to fix it. Thanks!
That did the trick, thanks for the insight.
Worked for me, awesome tip
@4mudski u could try a self tapping bolt, if that fails the drill and tap to one size bigger
Hi There - just wanted to thank you for your videos, they have helped me rebuild my carburetor (Carb Kit) and place my linkages in the right spots as well as adjust the carb. Blower is now running like a top!
you're welcome
Two things need to be addressed in this video.
1. What is the down position for the throttle? Off of idle?
2. You mention where the governor arm should be when tightening the screw but you do not indicate where the piece the governor arm connects to should be? That piece coming out of the engine block moves about 15 degrees in either direction and has a major impact on if this works or not.
Thanks for all your videos!
I've adjusted the governor already, yet it still goes to the moon unless I throttle it back down manually.
and I already fixed a broken exhaust valve keeper from the excessive rpms when my friend had it.
As a Briggs tech , I think its time to open up this Tecumseh and check the governor gear and the arm,unless you have any other ideas sir.
Love your videos, they've helped me out quite a bit over the years.
this will help me a lot. thanks.
Thank's a whole bunch, Right on the money.
2022 coming in with a THANKS! Was revving way too high with the governor screw 99.9% backed out.
You are the man!
Helps a lot. Thanks
Glad to hear that!
Great tutorial! You explains things very well.
I have a problem that is a related to the throttle lever, but is a bit different. I have a 1999 Ariens model 924104-ST1028 Sno-Thro with a Tecumseh model HMSK100 159391W emgine on it. I can raise the throttle lever & increase the rpms, but as I use the snow blower the lever drops & the rpms shortly drop off. So, I have to tie off the throttle leave in the max up position while snow blowing, otherwise the rpms drop off too much to blow snow well.
I thought the problem might be the Tecumseh 34663 Spring as you showed in the video above. When I checked it out, it looks intact, in one piece, plus it does work when increasing the rpms.
So, what could be the cause of losing the rpms?
Sure would appreciate some help. I would prefer not to have to buy the entire Control Bracket Assembly P/N 34677. Looking for a less expensive fix if one is available.
On the engine in this video, is there a governor spring attached anywhere ? I am about to replace the carb on an identical engine. All I see is the two linkage rods hooked into top of governor rod. One to throttle lever, other to carb throttle plate. Thanks for doing the videos, they help alot of folks.
Thank you so much that help me a lot lot
