Hi there,
I've got a Honda HR215 HX. I just adjusted the throttle cable so it would start better. I also tried to adjust the governor a little because the RPMs were a little too low. I'm not sure what I did in my adjustment, but now the governor arm will not stay in the idle position - forward towards the carb. If left untouched, it rotates back or open and the engine runs at crazy high RPMs. I've tried every adjustment to the governor pin to try and make the governor arm stay in the forward/idle position, but it still just falls back and runs open.
If I hold the governor arm forward, I can start the mower and have it run on idle, but the second I let go of the governor arm it rotates back and runs completely open with way to high of RPM.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
