    It’s so simple when you finally get it! The governor gear has a maximum throttle position and the carburetor has a maximum throttle position. You are trying to synchronize them. Synchronizing the maximum positions let’s the governor do its job. But adjusting spring tension is how you set the engine RPM that you want when the throttle lever is at maximum! Great video!

    TARYL IS THE MAN! I had a 14.5 hp B & S that would either idle or run 9k rpm. Did some research and found that the previous owner had removed that pinch bolt on the governor arm. I replaced the bolt but was unsure of how to adjust the governor until I watched this. Thanks again!

    I had an old mower as a spare engine and my riding mower just started smoking and swapped the engines. Didn't know about the setting of the governor but was lucky it didnt run away. Thanks to your video, I got it set correctly and its running. Now i just need to adjust the throttle spring. Thanks for posting such a detailed video on this. The beginning part of showing what its actually doing in the engine was very helpful.

    Hello Taryl, Thanks for this great video. I've been having some issues with my 14.5 hp Intek engine surging. I figured it was something with the carb. So I took it apart and cleaned it. It was very clean and everything seemed good. Put it back on and still the surging. The weird part is it got worse as it warmed up. I watched this video and thought this sounds like maybe my governor is a little worn out and needs to be tightened up. Low and behold I moved it about a quarter of an inch. It's now running perfectly. Thanks for this great video. Mike von Schlederer

    Taryl, I downloaded the OEM Kohler Service Manual and read the page on adjusting the governor, and it was very confusing. Then I watched your video twice. Then I adjusted the governor in about 3 minutes and it runs perfectly now! Thank you for your awesome videos!

  • @smjmike781
    @smjmike781 Před 5 lety

    Once again Taryl bails my fat out of the fire. Had an old 7 hp Briggs that needed the governor adjusted. Bought an old brush cutter at a sale that didn't run. Taryl has helped me rebuild the carb, put a magneto ignition system on it and set the governor. The old girl was built in 1970 and hadn't been running for 15 years. Now it runs great!! I can't imagine what a shop would have charged for all this. I would love to spend time with him just to observe his work. I enjoy this stuff so much that I find myself buying old engine driven equipment just so I can fix it. I hope you win the lottery or something, you have saved plenty of people a ton of money.

    Thanks Taryl. Saved my day. I took off crankcase cover and realized I had no idea how the governor went back together. Last small engine I did was 30 years ago with fan blown governor. Your videos filled in all the gaps. One thing though, when I followed your instructions exactly it came out all wrong. The engine would race way too fast. The problem was that this is a chipper with with the cutter wheel right on the crankshaft, no gears. Half throttle was as fast as you would ever want it to go. So, instead of holding the throttle at full when tightening the lever to the crank, I held it at half throttle. This must be how it was done at the factory because it worked the same way as brand new. Thanks again for the videos. Gotta say I appreciated the camera work.

    Taryl, Your a life saver. I have a 8 HP Briggs built around 1988 on a generator and this thing kept surging. Once I looked at your video I re adjusted that governor and it started purring like a kitten. It also was a little high on the RPM (~~134 Volt)and I fixed that also.. Thanks again!

    Just fixed a Dr.Field Brush Mower with a Kawasaki 17hp motor following your instructions. I loosened the governor control arm bolt, shimmed the control arm so that the link to the carb was full open. The control arm had a through hole in it, so a put a small Allen wrench through the hole to rotate the shaft (verses your plier method) ( hats off the the Kawasaki employee who came up with adding the hole). Re tightened the control arm bolt and the motor fired up and ran through the throttle purrrrfectly.
    Thanks Taryl!

      You can't adjust the governors or the mayors. They don't see anything wrong with riots killing breaking and stealing. Chicago mayor ( Lori Lightfoot ) face looks like a new born baby rhinoceros has no time to help the people because is a lesbian and watches porn on her office computer and goes home to her partner to lick each other.
