Tecumseh 5.5

Does anyone have any pictures of the spring connections on the throttle of the Tecumseh 5.5 engine? Somebody before me screwed mine around. I now have to use starter spray everytime to start it and it only runs full speed.
We've had the carb off and cleaned it although it really wasn't gunked up.

Post the model numbers and I'll find you a manual.

I probably have what you need. Is it vertical crankshaft, or horizontal?

I'll try for the numbers tomorrow. It's a horizontzal on a tiller.
I found this youtube video which may show the linkage: Tecumseh OHH50 - Governor, Carburetor and Control Arm Linkage - YouTube

The manuals I've seen online show neither the linkage nor the springs which are the prime problem.

I found the linkage you need, but it's on an OHH60 that I'm getting ready to list on EBay. I'd better try to sell the complete engine. The video does show really well the parts you need though. I guess I would try a small-engine junk pile.

Do you think it's the same for a 50, 55, and 60? I think the linkage may be there just not in the right places.

When I get to the shop in the morning, I will find you some information. They should be the same. I think I have some diagrams that will help you.

Thank you. The OHH60 is not listed on the front cover. Is that OK?

It says OHH50-65, which will cover your engine.
