With the engine not running there should be spring force trying to pull the throttle open. Yours according to the service manual has a "governed Idle" which does not allow the carburetor to close and touch the speed adjustment screw on the carb. It is designed to allow the operator to idle the...

Just a quick question. Was the governor lever turned the right way when you put the sump back on?

Some engines do this but I am not familiar (don't remember really) it has been a while since I have worked at one of the opposed flat head twins. The best would be to follow the linkage and see if there is a link or lever to do so. Even the service manual has no clear picture of the control. If...

You stated you were able to bring it back to idle by using a wire -- does the governor are try to pull it back to idle? If not there could be one of two issues. Governor not adjusted properly which you said you did, or the internal governor has a problem which could be 1. the flyweights weights...

The engine speed is controlled by a balancing act between the governor and the governor spring. When the engine is running the governor should pull the carburetor closed, when you start the engine is there any force opposing the sparing? Trying to close the throttle? Can you hold the governor...

Have you used the new torque spec and pattern? Have tried to copy file and attach the file but the computer won't allow it. So here is th jist of the service bulletin. 1 New design head bolt, with new torque pattern. No part number given. 2. Tighten 1/3 value, then 2/3, then final torque. 3 new...

Blown head gasket a common problem on Breaks & Scrapem singles especially the 28 and 31 cube engines. Some overeducated engineer thought they did not need a headbolt in the pushrod area and therefore it is a long distance between the two head bolts. Quickest way to check for a blown gasket is to...

When it shuts down have you checked the antifire solenoid (if it has one) in the carburetor bowl? Sometimes when they get hot they will not work properly and close. May have to check for a missing heat shield or fabricate one.

A common issue on these mowers. Usually caused by the frame beeing bent from hitting something too hard. Yes the frames are marginal strength. There are two may be three ways to fix it, replace the frame and be sure to be gentle with the front end, straighten and reinforce the frame, replace the...

You say it "just clicks when the key is turned" Is that to the run position or start? The fuel solenoid and other relays will click in the on position, the starter solenoid when turned to the start position will only click if it is bad, because the internal contacts are corroded and don't make...

Guess it shows my age! Oh my. I was refering to the John Deere tractors made in the 30's 40's and 50's. It was 52 or 53 when they finally went to two barrel carbs.

Somthing to think about. A V twin engine fires the same as the two cylinder John Deere. One cylinder fires and the other fires 90* later then there is no power for 270* turn of the crankshaft. John Deere had an issue using single barrel carburetors because the first cylinder was lean and the...
