was out cutting up leaves, mower was operating as designed, when of a sudden it revs to an extremely high rpm and holds. I quickly shut it down and took the starter off for a look see.
nothing appears to be remiss, all parts in place and connected. did notice that there is no paddle on the governor so did research on the particular engine (B&S 11P902-0693-B1) and verified its not sposed to have a paddle. now I'm not sure how the governor is sposed to work since the governor control lever controls the carb through a mechanical link. but what controls the control lever, is there some type of internal (to the engine) device? gotta say the IPL from briggs & Stratton is totally empty regarding internal features.
frankly, I'm at a loss as to further troubleshooting
I am mechanically inclined regarding large and small engines but would rather not crack the case unless I have to. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
