The governor on my son's MB200 (Warrior 200) suddenly stopped working. The governor arm no longer returns to its resting position on its own. This causes the throttle at the carburetor to sit at about half open without applying any hand throttle action. A bad situation, as the bike races wildly without applying the hand throttle. I can move the governor arm into its resting position by hand which returns the throttle back to its normal idle position. I have temporarily remedied this by adding a spring to the governor arm to pull it back. The spring tension can be overcome by applying hand throttle. The throttle at the carburetor then gradually opens and operates as normally, except for the fact that there is no longer any governing action at any rpm.
All the other springs in the throttle path seem to be connected. One heavier spring and one thin spring.
I have adjusted the throttle stop to prevent the bike from overrevving when the hand throttle is fully opened.
Any clues as to what went wrong and how I can permanently fix?
