Here is video of where im at and video of engine running Only thing that I may have over looked in using new fuel line? I have new shut off valve and new fuel filter Have changed the multiple carbs but still could have got some debris in carb??

Ok don't have those tools I have pulled sparkplug wires individually when running both cylinders sounded about the same i can post a video!

This is where im at! The engine starts right up and don't notice any drag but its still rough not really rough but not right with a bit of a sputtering I have sprayed around engine for air leaks and plugs to look for spark trying to ground to engine! I've tried new spark plugs! Put 3 different...

I will give her a go!@

It's running now governor working With dash at slow idle can get it to idle almost where I want it but have to push to idle screw a little That is without the spring that goes to tang That spring gives to much tension and will pull up to higher idle speeds This all with air cleaner off If I...

Latest i have spark at eack plug Engine still rough Trying to get it to idle right

Yes coil Magnatron!

Ok its not the coil! It did start on with just one wire on each plug individually?

Ok new problem Only running on one cylinder?? Found by accident Pulled plugs to check them one dirtier than other cleaned it up a bit put back in and engine running perfectly! Then I looked and saw forgot to put wire on the dirtier plug side! Put it back on engine runs rougher! Pulled other...

I went the long way around on this one But know how change a governor now! haha Now need to see if i can adjust everything to get engine to smooth out!

Messing with linkages getting close idle is rough!

Ok I got it Its running rough with new carb So need to adjust some things! Maybe i can send a video of how it sounds?? I need to adjust spring to the tang and that is close to where it needs to be just a bit rough over all idle!

I thin Think I made some headway! I hope i wasn't this dumb but I removed wire from dog leg to the adjustment screw this allowed the governor arm to travel further to counter-clockwise and hopefully closer to thimble for static adjustment!! Start engine and the throttle plate is closing i...

I have done this Wire on governor arm and I can close throttle plate to bring it to idle! When running! The throttle control will not let it go to idle because of governor spring From what I have read the throttle plate is always held at WOT

I'm trying to take all this info and apply it! Yes wish I had a pair of knowlegable eyes to see what's up with this engine! I think this is a good engine if I can figure it out! I'll keep plugging at it!

I had the original carb on it when I first got it running but put another carb on CHINA I will take a look at it tomorrow I cleaned up the original carb to put back on i don't know if it is actually the right carb?? Anyway i will get some pics! I do have another Briggs carburetor looks like it...

I have adjusted it so many times each way. That it's driving me crazy. There's no way that I could have got it wrong after doing it. So many times testing it each time, it's very frustrating, but I just don't think it's working right!! All I can do is keep trying And my knowledge comes from just...

Here is my video I feel kinda defeated but maybe still be some good info for someone! At least it shows some detail of this engine opened that i haven't seen! Now have to figure what to do next!

Yes I understood after reading again Anyway Got it back together same thing!! Adjusted governor Running wild i videoed my whole reinstall hoping it could help someone and maybe it still will How to or not how to video but I can't see how it could be done any other way! I don't know what else...

Yes shaft looks good and thimble and weights spin free ! Not sure what you mean by the thin wire? To probe or feel for gears properly meshing between cam and governor gear! Anyway again thanks to your help and explanation I think im in the right track Hopefully it works this time around!!

Just found this video End of video this guy shows camshaft side of engine and tab looks just like mine same orientation! Now im confused

Added a picture of arm and tab I can take more if it helps

Got it apart and this is how the arm tab has looked each time! And first time I opened engine governor was in place and arm the same! When I removed springs it was still wide open! Have tried adjustment on governor every which way I'm trying to stay persistent the motor fires right up so its...

Thanks I know how the governor operates! More now than ever I have read and watched more videos than I could imagine I will be going back in and paying more attention to detail! This will be my 3rd time inside this engine so hopefully it is a charm! Thank You for taking time for the detailed...
