First, let me suggest using the search function as these topics have been covered several times. Second, the Briggs governor will not work with the Tec carb. Do some reading in the Briggs engine section. There is a wealth of knowledge.

So, is that one big question? :laugh:
I think you asked ," Is there a way to hook my Briggs gov to a Tec carb"? Right? No, you can't. And what kind of carb? When you say "lawnmower" what you using?
