I took apart my carb to clean it today and I removed the governor spring and the whole spring came out of the governor unit. I can not figure this out. I'm trying to get this put back together again, it's bothering me. Please help me out.
Thanks,
Paul
Thanks for the reply
I'm stupid for not telling you guys the model number, it's a Duraforce 10247. I can't figure out this governor system for the life of me. It's so simple, but so over complicated at the same time. I've tried looking at manuals online but they seem to only show information about the older bricktop models. At least I think there called that, I'm new to lawnboys if you can't tell Also I think my engine is an f series engine, while older models have d and e series engines. Correct me if I'm wrong. Please help me out
Thanks,
Paul
I've tried lawnboy's support site and when I enter my model 10247, it comes up with no results. And on lawnboy's main site it asks me for a password. Maybe it's just because I'm trying to go on the website on my phone.
Your spring is not broken. I'll see if I can find you a good picture of how to reassemble the parts tonight when I get home from work. Not that hard to do.

Thanks you! The only reason I took my carb apart was to clean it. I couldn't figure out how to connect the governor spring to the linkage on the carb. That's when I pulled too hard and the spring came out. It's really pissing me off... Thanks for the help

I found a really good how to on the tractor forum on how to completely rebuild the dueaforce carb.had all the specs to set the air vane too.great pics to follow You should drill your jets out it makes a world of difference in how they run there are posts in this forum on the process

I'll admit I am not a lawnboy expert by any means, my 10201 is my first one. But that spring looks stretched all to heck. Just trying to learn about these mowers from the pros. Seems everyone has seen one, but few really know'em.
that spring goes into the hole on the air vane the hook end goes to the linkage on the throttle arm you have to turn t he carb body to hook it in. there is not a whole lot of spring tension there and as stated earlier your spring looks good reassembly goes a lot easier if the top and gas tank are removed along with the trans belt cover.First make sure the governor spring and primer hose and throttle cable are connected its hard to put on when carb is attached Remember to put the little plastic hose divider on the primer hose take the two long screws and align them in the air box to carb body making sure the metal paper gasket goes between air box and carb the next gasket has two small indents in it from the previous install make sure it goes back on the same way it came off it it is best to have someone screw the carb in while you line it up to the block get the carb down by the block and put the air vane in its hole then place the heat shield on the screws the block gasket sometimes stays on line up the carb and have someone screw it up but not all the way place the induction tube in the inlet making sure it sits in the notch now tighten the carb screws but NOT TOO TIGHT install the air filter and cover put on a fuel cutoff valve on fuel line at the bend in the hose put hose divider on fuel inlet and reattach hose put top cover back on and you are done if it wont start with 3 primes on one pull check for spark
