40 year diesel/ gas RF tech that needs help
I pulled the carburetor about two years ago cleaned it and got it running.
ever since then the governor is not regulating the speed of the engine. The governor arm coming out of the block is not even trying to modulate or regulate the speed of the carburetor.
So I’ve been fighting the speed control to keep the engine from either overspeeding or just not having enough RPM to turn the edger blade. It is a craftsman/Tecumseh 2 1/2 hp I’m enclosing pictures.
If I need to remove the pulley and pull the side cover to check that Goveror flyweight I can I am not afraid to do that.
I know I didn’t force that lever coming out of the block that is the governor control lever, so I know I’ve either rerigged something wrong or something else is going on. I’m enclosing pictures can anybody help?
Thanks
