Less head scratching and more time getting stuff done (meaning more time drink a beer or two at the end of the day). You rock, man. Thanks for what you do for us all.

Brilliant Steve, thanks a million. I applied your method to a Homelite HL454SP mower which had a screaming over-revving problem, over here in the U.K. Amazingly, it did not cure it. But you had given me the confidence that I'd set the lever arm correctly. It made me look elsewhere. Eventually I spotted that a sharp edge of the control arm was fouling the PVC sheath of the throttle/choke control cable. I used a cable tie to re-route this cable well clear. Great, docile running again. But I could not have done it without you. The manual was useless. This problem makes me think. On some machines, cables flap about all over the place and doubtless can cause a variety of problems when they foul controls. Have you found that? And do owners try to tie them down, provoking further trouble? I imagine many mowers have hit the garbage dump because of this. Is there scope for a KZfaq video on taming the control cable snakes?

@heavysnow8616 5 жыл бұрын

Usually you rotate the governor shaft in the same direction you push the governor lever. In this video Steve pushed the governor lever to the right to ensure no slop in the linkages in the WOT position. He then turned the governor shaft clockwise. When you are done you should be able to push the linkage and there should be no binding, you will feel spring resistance. If your binding, adjust the shaft in the opposite direction. Always check your manual for what your working on. If you get it wrong the engine will race-shut it down immediately!!!

My Briggs 3hp mower will surge in rpms while mowing. When you stop the forward motion and pull to backup. It’s odd and has done periodically but last time it was most of the mowing job. I’ll give a blow out and check tank for some water or see if gas line in tank has a crack. It’s probably not a big deal but if you have a suggestion, great. Thx
