Idle rpm

Have a Briggs model 140000 series 1000. I have the high rpm at 3500, but can't get the idle rpm below about 2400 rpms. I have the the idle screw turned all the way out. Should the idle be at 1750? Anyone know of a way to lower the idle without changing the top speed? Thanks all.

This manual should answer your questions, if not post back.

Thanks, but I already had this information. It does not cover model 140000. I tried some of the settings anyway. If I set the idle speed, it changes the high speed. If I change the high speed, it changes the idle speed. I guess I will just set the high speed, and let the idle speed run fast. Rivets, thanks for your help and understanding.

Please post your exact model, type and code numbers and if possible a few pictures of the carb and linkage. If that manual doesn’t cover it, I’m confused.

That is not a 140000 series engine, but a 14 series L-head engine. Totally different manual. First of all that carb has been run hard and put away wet, meaning abused. First thing you need to do is give it a good cleaning. Next, after it is cleaning, the governor should be adjusted, which after see pics I would say is part of your problem. From that point reset your governed top speed to 3200 RPM’s. A walk behind mower should be run at full throttle at all times, so no real need to worry about idle speed. Here is a manual to help you set the governor.

Yes this is 140000 series. If you would have read my earlier post, you would see that this engine was replaced, and yes it is dirty from setting in the shed. All I was saying is it has the same carburetor. Futhermore it is not on a push mower but a riding mower. Thanks for your great help. You must have had a bad day. Model 140000 series 1000

I didn’t have a bad day, in fact I had a good day until I tried to help someone out, but I do know when I’ve met my match. You know more than I do (as I was mistaken saying it was an L-head) and maybe someone else will understand what you are talking about. Right now I’m thinking you are talking about at least two different carbs and/or engines, or more. This is worse than trying to troubleshoot over the phone, I’m outa here.
