Running like a champ. Problem was the air vane and putting a new primer ball surely helped. . Starts up first pull.
thanks for all the help.

Attached is a link to the 1950-1988 Lawn-Boy service manual pdf file. You can learn how to adjust the governor (and anything else). The governor parts are all plastic save the spring. It is probably badly warn and binds at start and finally frees up. I know Lawn-Boy (Toro) no longer has the governor parts. I have a 1978 Mod. 8310. The governor was replaced about three years ago. I saved the warn parts thinking if needed I could use a 3D printer to make a replacement.

Using starting fluid on a 2 stroke will cause damage to the engine as if washes off all the lubrication so the engine is temporarily running with no oil. Starting fluid is hard on 4 stokes and destroys 2 strokes.
