I FINELY GOT THE CARB FIXED ON MY CRAFTSMAN LAWN TRACTOR (917.255720). It has a Tecumseh engine # 143.406022. However I still have the governor problem. I CAN NOT REGULATE THE THROTTLE BY THE LEVER ON THE DASH . i CAN CHOKE IT BUT CAN'T LOWER OR RAISE THE SPEED OF THE ENGINE. sO i STILL NEED SOMEONE TO TELL EXACTLY HOW TO HOOK UP THE GOVERNOR. WHICH HOLES THE SPRINGS AND RODS GO IN ON THE THROTTLE AND THE 2 LEVERS OF THE THROTTLE ON THE ENGINE.

Mr. Fish I am sorry but none of the pictures I have seen does not show the type of governor that is on this motor.There are two vertical shafts that have holes in them and I do not have control of the throttle with the lever on the dash. I need to see where the springs go and where the rod goes to the on the throttle.
If you go back to the I put on the first thread and look close you can see the 2 shafts.

Why? I have been looking around for the thread where you actually put up a pic, but I wasted 5 minutes or so, so I officially give up.....The one pic I put up matched your engine, but I refuse to spend any more time on this.....Maybe someone else here has a bit more patience....

Post all numbers from your engine and I'll try helping you out, not just engine model number as Tecumseh has so many engines like everyone else. Example ecv 100 or lev1oo and numbers from carburetor as well. The number you posted is craftsman number I need all Tecumseh numbers.
