    I bought this machine used and at a good discount due to this spring being bent horribly and the whole mechanism installed improperly. I could have bought a new one probably. But after watching this video, I was able to reremove it. Bend the spring back close enough to it's proper position. And reinstall it all correctly . Now it works like it should!!!!!! Thanks a million for the video!!!

    Hard part is finding just a new spring. I lucked out and have an old school repair shop near me that knows small engines like the back of his hand. He went into the back and dug out a used one for me for $20. Explained how to and how important setting the governor was. I was grateful because it was the night of the first big storm of the year. I don’t have a garage and had my snowblower in my damn kitchen. Took an hour and two pulls and a couple adjustments and it ran perfect, even a little better than before.

    It turned out that the spring was distorted when I took out linkage, which I should not do it when I cleaned my carb. I followed your video and make sure the shape is the same like yours. It worked like a charm.
    I sent you the video in the morning and you shot your video, edited and uploaded to youtube before the end of the same day! Dony, you are the man!!!!!

    donyboy your the man. just what I needed except I have one problem. Stop this video at 1:52. My wire is green going to perhaps the coil? I also have a black ignition wire going from the carb cover ignition key to the throttle kill switch the black wire going to the ignition key came off the throttle and I failed to study where it goes. Can you help?..There are no video's on this and I don't have electric start. Hope my description is accurate. TY in advance.

  • @squidben5780
    @squidben5780 5 лет назад

    Excellent video could not understand why it was not pushing the rod as I was pulling the throttle. I have changed the carb but thought I had changed something. Throttle assembly close to 80 cad here will look tomorrow to see if spring broken or unclipped.

    Is the other holes on those spots will it make the engine go faster or slower?
    Thanks

    Hi Don, my throttle lever doesn't stay at upper position n goes down all the time, is it this part for sure ?? (this spring is not broken n is at the right positions)
    Tnx for answering

  • @yudaman8814
    @yudaman8814 11 лет назад +1

    Dony, Fantastic videos. My buddy had same problem but spring wasn't broken. hmmm. Thanks to studying your video we were able to solve it. Turns out the piece of metal on the throttle lever shaft control where the spring z bend is attached was rusted solid to the shaft so when you throttle up, the set screw attached to the lever didn't push that center metal piece. So, three pieces on that shaft ... throttle lever, middle piece and outer piece which attaches to gov linkage. Middle piece would not move and that was the cause of our problem. Clean it up, break it free from the rust and lube it and all set.

  • @etripp111
    @etripp111 9 лет назад +3

    Thanks! I was able to take mine apart, but the spring was fastened just fine as far as I could tell. It was not broken. Is it possible that it just lost it's elasticity? I can use my machine, but cannot adjust the throttle, but hey it works. Do you have the part number and a place to purchase the spring or throttle assembly? Thanks again.

  • @bartmanMN7

    Thanks so much for this video. I just had took it all apart to fix the fuel line and i don't know what had happened but it seems like the tension came off that spring and i wasn't sure where it went to. I think it may have just came on woen some how. Thanks again.

  • @dhcoutts
    @dhcoutts 4 года назад

    Great video. My throttle is doing the same thing, but the spring is not broken. It looks like the throttle lever hub is not longer connected to the hub where the spring bottom attaches. I am stuck in high throttle as I have no mechanism to bring it back down. I suspect I need a new throttle control assembly, unless you have a fix to suggest.

  • @mrsh370
    @mrsh370 5 лет назад

    Hi I bought the whole part as you suggested because I couldn't get just the spring, but as I'm looking at both the new mechanism and the old mechanism and I noticed that my old lever is set up to settle in certain positions, up all the way and the other position is down towards the bottom.
    My new lever looks exactly the same but when I pull the lever up, it seems like it just flops back in the off position ?
    When I look at my old lever, I can see that it has indentions on it so that seats in those positions but my new one does not have these indentations.
    Is this right and will it still work ?
    Thank you

    how about that screw on the throtle lever does it have to be turned in or out to increase rpm on the governor.....? thanks dony great video

  • @ronharris8459
    @ronharris8459 4 года назад

    Do you know when gas leaks out of the carb while running if you need a new float seal or just replace the whole carb? Mine is an Airens 824. Thanks If so can you suggest a good source and the right carburator part etc.

  • @wolfmanj3

    HI Great Video!!! Thank you. Have you ever come across a Tecumseh engine that won't shut off? I have a MTD pro 26inch snow blower, I recently cleaned out the carb and got it running again, but it won't shut off, and i have to pull the spark plug cable off to shut it down. Any ideas?

  • @scottsexton5257

  • @diegodelbosquedelnorte
    @diegodelbosquedelnorte 5 лет назад

    Very very helpful video! Thanks so much! My throttle works going up (bracket moves Governor arm) but when throttling down nothing happens, the bracket to governor does not even move. Any idea what’s happening here? Maybe need new spring? Somebody told me that the governor actually pushed the throttle closed by itself and that when the snowblower is turned off (which obviously it is while I am inspecting the throttle) and that is why I don’t notice the governor arm moving when I throttle down. The reason I ask is that the machine runs a little rough and it seems that when throttling down it has the most trouble. Haven’t stripped carb apart at all, just thinking it could be an issue with that spring. Thank you so much! Your videos have been really helpful throughout the years!

Also the last time I used the snowblower the governor didn't seem to be working it wouldn't kick in when under load. What do u think? Thanks keep up the videos. U r the most informative channel on small engine I have found.

      only thing i can do to make it work for now is keep the side panel off the blower and manually return the arm to idle. im still looking into a solution, possibly trying a 2nd spring but finding one to work is harder then i thought.

    My spring was also booked up properly but wouldn’t idle up or down. Unhook the spring from the top of the throttle body and bend it towards the rear of the snowblower (where you stand). That will give the spring some extra tension and mine works fine now. Easy fix. Hope this helps.

  • @dkeith45
    @dkeith45 7 лет назад

    My throttle spring seems to have tension. But my question is this, when I push my lever up, it does push the rods connected to the carb and governor forward forcing the throttle open, which is now under tension. IF I push back against the governor, while the lever is up, there is tension there and the throttle closes, and reopens if I release the governor. But if I push the lever down, nothing happens, the throttle remains open. Should the lever being in the down position pull the throttle closed? Or is that the job of the governor when the engine is running?
