I was racking my brain last night cause this aerator engine has always started up every season, first second pull no problem. Ran great, always check/change oil and grease bearings on schedule. The only thing I can think of I did different was instead of running it dry of gas like I have been I...

Just noticed you said it would be fine off, oops. Ty!

Here’s the new video, the only thing I did was take off the spring. Could it be a governor arm adjustment issue? Thank you all https://youtube.com/shorts/-jMSQbWIRFE?feature=share

Is there any harm in leaving it off? Everything seems to run perfect with it off. If it would damage it I’ll just keep fiddling. Ty again

Reversed the spring and replaced it with a new one still no joy. While toying with the old spring it accidentally popped off and the engine ran perfect lol. That’s not shown in the video, the video is with the new spring. I’d be happy with 2000 idle but it just stays high! If you even think...

I’ll check all those out ty! This one is actually the free moving one not the on that was clicking. That would be my luck haha.

What would cause the governor arm to keep settling mid throttle (not sure if that’s the correct term). When I start up the idle rpm’s are already at 3600ish when max full throttle should be 3900. That’s with the throttle turned all way low. Turning the throttle stop screw does nothing to adjust...

Thank you! That’s what I needed to know before I took apart something that was fine haha. Ty!

Hi guys, so recently bought another aerator (used) was just poking around comparing it to our first one cleaning it up a bit etc. Both are Honda Gx120. I noticed even tho it has the same springs etc they function differently. On the older one the governor arm sorta “clicks” the throttle valve...

Had to go back and reference so the video with it stuck I brought it back in and took the shroud and carb off again. Was looking at what could be stuck and that’s when I noticed I didn’t have the breather tube (I think that’s what it’s called) connected to the back of the air filter port. I...

I did clean the fins and the top of the block. Took the gas tank off as well just to double check behind it for anything stuck. I looked everywhere for more numbers didn’t find anymore. The only one is the one in pic 9P702-0144-F1 with a DOM of 03-22-14. Here’s the mowers decal if that helps. Ty...

Sure, here it is Ty!

Is there supposed to be oil in the valve area? It’s not a lot but would just like to know if this is normal? Is it normal for an engine in 100% shape or normal for a old engine? Thanks guys!

Bert I’m trying to find the valve clearances on this engine. I don’t see it online. I see a 9A, 9B, 9D but no 9P. Do you have any suggestions? I was guessing an average after looking at a few of .004 but I’d still like to know for future reference how to locate it if I’m looking at the wrong set...
