    yes i am about to tear this apart, i have 2 Broadmoors with tuff torq's in them. as a retired mechanic with 20 yrs worth of rebuilding automatic transmissions, im not 'afraid ' to tear into it, it's more being afraid of needing parts, that are obsolete...or way out of my social security income...

    tks for your reply, but my question was... the silver dollar size filter you mention, was that the screen in the fill port...or the filter under the pump inlet???

    throttle linkage diagram, high revving regardless of throttle cable setting

    I actually DID do just that, with no change... when it fires, it revs out of control. i have a parts engine,i am pretty sure the gov gear is toast... i just need time to tear the 2 down. but ty for the info!!

    10hp Briggs on coleman pwrmate generator leaking oil from governor shaft.

    i just want to mention, i am not one to believe a "small leak" is an acceptable one, i have plenty of 8-10 hp engines that leak Zero oil...i need to address this before i use it, or sell it.
