Craftsman 917.373980 Linkage Question

[clayw]

I have a Craftsman 917.373980. I removed the carb to clean it and I forgot how the linkage rod and spring attach to the throttle mechanism. Does anyone have a picture of how it goes together?

And what engine is fitted to it?
Could do with model and engine numbers if you want someone to help.

Solid Link goes from top of Governor Arm to Throttle on carb. Spring goes from Gov. Arm to speed control lever that you control. Sometimes the spring will have a joining link that is solid part of the way, depending on engine model and design. Remember, the SPRING pulls the engine INTO fuel. The GOVERNOR pulls the engine OUT of fuel. The tension on the spring controls RPM. Hope this helps.

i would do what i do when i lose track.....and that is look for wear marks on the different holes....each one should have a direction pattern and its up or down pattern........just look carefully
