I have just recently purchased an edger with a 3.5hp Briggs and Stratton 098902-1110-B1 Code 03031851. The governor springs were all stretched out and not connected when I got it, I just got new springs for it and now I dont know where to put them. Anyone have a picture or diagram of where they should go? Thanks.
I have the same problem. I have a horizontal shaft 5HP B&S engine on a Craftsman tiller. The engine model # is: 135202; type 0119 01; code 960102YD. I removed the carb and fuel tank for cleaning, but can not remember how the rods and spring connect to the governor. I reviewed the info at the link mentioned above, but could not find a setup that is like mine. If anyone can help, I sure would appreciate it.
Rivets: Thanks for the link. I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, but it has a world of information that should be helpful in the future. Late yesterday the guy a the local repair / parts shop that I use found a video on youtube that shows exactly what I needed. After making the connections and installing the tank and carb, I was ready to try to start the engine. I have another problem now. When pulling the starter crank rope, there is severe kickback. This engine has not been run in 3 or 4 years. Apparently the compression release is not working. That's assuming that it even has compression release. If anyone can provide some help, I sure would appreciate it. Engine is a 5hp B&S, model 135202, type 0119 01.
Thanks for all the help so far!

Sorry, but I have no idea how to share a link even if I had it. I just watched the video at the local shop. I know that he went on youtube and searched for 'briggs and stratton governor'. There were several videos, and he looked until he found the right one. Maybe you can find it on youtube,
That's the opinion that I'm getting from others also. But I doubt that that is the problem because the engine was running (and starting) normally when it was last used about 3 or 4 years ago. The pull start had not been pulled in all that time, and I don't think I hurt the flywheel key by pulling on the rope. I still think it is a problem with the compression release, but it may be a valve problem. However, both of those issues are probably beyond my level of tinkering.
Thanks for your response.
