    CV490S Throttle & Governor Linkages

    I have a Husqvarna CZ 4817 Zero Turn Mower (968999220) with a Kohler Command CV490S. It has the common leaky carb problem, so I I'm taking a gamble on a cheap Amazon carb. However, as I'm putting it back together, I notice that the throttle is not wide open with the mower not running. I can move...

    Eager 1 Craftsman 6.25 hp - Governor linkage inside bottom of tecumseh 143.026202 unknown.

    Dropped its oil after every session after parked for ten minutes. No leak atop it. Flipped it and I took it apart from the bottom, observing that the oil seal looked good from that view. When I gently pulled the bottom section from the top, I felt a bit of resistance, which surprised me, and...

    3hp 80302 Throttle and Governor Linkage

    I just got this machine and got it running, but can't get any throttle response. How are the hook and spring supposed to be placed with the throttle and air governor? I can't figure out how it's supposed to be without it binding up.

    My cub was having issues last winter, gas ran in to the crank. That has been fixed. Shut off valve added to prevent a repeat. Carb rebuilt too. Next issue is the engine speed and lack of power. I bought a cheap electronic tachometer so I could monitor the engine speed. My original manual...

    Where does Briggs & Stratton 750EX Governor Linkage Connect?

    I was just cleaning the carb on a B&S 100802-0121-H8 which I believe is a 750EX ReadyStart Victa Mustang mower engine, but the sticker has come off before I bought this. One of the linkages (governor?) disconnected and I can't see where to attach it back. It's probably not easy to explain, but...

    Static Governor Adjustment for B&S 20 HP V2

    I just replaced a blown governor on my 20 HP twin B&S engine and now I am in the process to adjust it and I am not quite sure how to understand the manual. My throttle is twofold. The first 80% of it is throttle and the last 20% of it pulls the choke. The manual says to turn the control swivel...

    Hello All! I was given a Honda HRM 21 mower (GV150 engine) in pieces, and it looks like everything is there except for the governor linkage rod—p/n 16555-888-010. That part has, so far, been impossible to find. Would anyone have one available for sale (new or used) or one you could measure...
