Toro 22in Recycler Lawn Mower Model 20371
Kohler Courage XT6.75
Half a year old. Less than 40 hours.

Engine suddenly started running slow yesterday. Not straining or running roughly. Just got quiet as though idling. There is no throttle adjustment for "fast" and "slow" on this mower. You just start it and go. If someone else holds the safety handle and keeps the mower running, I can fiddle with the linkage and get it back up to normal RPM. But I don't see any adjustment screws or anything that would let me set it back to that normal RPM.

Appreciate any help!

Governor spring broke, or possibly bent the tab that the governor spring connects to by bumping into something while mowing.
