I probably described it wrong. With the engine running, the bell crank does not move at all from either position (full on or off) at any speed with or without the springs on. I'm assuming the push pin has fallen off or if it is like most things now days, the governor gear is made of plastic...

The governor arm does not move in either direction. I would assume the arm, with no springs attached, would move in either direction as the counter weights move in and out,

I need ya'lls help again. After replacing the rectifier, oil, oil filter, fuel filter and air cleaner it ran like a top. My friend came and got it and he went to mowing the grass at the church he pastors. It ran according to him, great for about 45 minutes, and all of a sudden it went into and...

Thanks guys. Replaced the rectifier/regulator and it lives. Checked the volatge at WOT @ battery and it showed about 14.5 +/- volts. It appears now there is a much bigger issue but not with the regulator or charging system. Seeming unrelated but who knows.

With the terminals facing me it is the left and center. I did a diode check and you are correct, I get a 1 (all three of my meters use 1 instead of OL) both forward and reverse. Don't know if it matters but with the + lead on B+ and the AC to the left, I get a reading of .021, reversing the...

43.3k ohms. B+ to case shows 43.3K and one of the AC lugs also shows 43.3k both to case ground. Between the two lugs that shows the 43.3 it reads 0.00k.

I noticed my VOM was acting flaky so I got my other one and retested So far with rectifier removed and engine running: Stator output test = 21v +/- at idle 30v +/- at WOT Stator leads to ground do not show the stator to be shorted on either lead. On a whim, I rechecked the rectifier on one AC...

The number on the rectifier is 25 403 35 4215

Another question........ If I remember correctly and I will verify in the morning, the B+ wire coming had voltage going to it with the key switch in the off position. Am I right in assuming it should only show battery voltage when the key if turned on and not have continuous power at all times...

Working on a friends mower. A couple of days ago it quit on him after he stopped it to move something. It would not crank. He (not mechanically inclined) brought it over and and I found a blown 20 amp fuse under the seat. He went and got some fuses and proceeded to mow again and it did the...

It was in the carburetor...... It's fixed for the time being. Fingers crossed. Thanks

Problem solved.........Thanks

You wrote in a thread about this 22hp briggs surging.... The govenor is bouncing because the low speed metering circuit in the carb is not working correctly. Can you elaborate a bit on that?

This is not the carb I'm working on but is a close representation. Does anyone know what the function is of these 2 ports?
