HRX217K6HYA GCV200 governor adjustment

[rainman1442]

I’ve got the new motor and the rpm are running lower than my older HRX’s. I’ve looked at how to adjust on YouTube and I’ve adjusted the cable and the spring. Neither has upped the rpm’s. Any other suggestions?

You have to put a little more tension on the governor spring
Usually it is a matter of bending the retaining tab

The tab which the spring connects to on the filter end?

When you pull on the throttle cable it should move a lever that pulls a spring that pulls the governor arm which in turn moves the throttle rad connected to the carb throttle butterfly.
Honda generally have an adjuster screw , but if that is in all the way then there is generally a tab on one end of the spring that can be bent.
We get slightly different Hondas down here ( the EU models ) to the USA models you get over there .
