My Lord! I have looked ALL OVER Google-land to find this exact and precise information. Taryl - I salute you for a precise, detailed, simple explanation of the proper linkage and governor settings for my Tecumseh 11-hp snowblower engine. I NEEDED THIS! I put on a new carburetor, and I could not get the thing to run right! It would always run at the high-throttle setting, (not over-revving), and I could not get any intermediate speed settings. When I replaced the carb, I did indeed tweak that little governor arm-pivot-screw, but I thought I put it back in the same place. Since the carb was new (an expensive Tecumseh factory carb) I had to presume everything was good with the carb (non-adjustable job) - I did, however, verify the float bowl setting. It was right on the money. I use ethanol-free gas and everything. I spent an hour tweaking the idle and high-speed screws, but I could not get the beast to decrease its speed to idle. After sleeping on it and giving it much thought, I figured it MUST be the governor... but after hours of searching, I could find nothing but hit-or-miss adjustments. Then I found your channel! This is THE ONLY video I have found that shows EXACTLY what to do and how to do it. In fact, you have another video (May 2015) that shows a slightly different way to set the governor, but this one is, by far, the best. It is simple, concise, and it worked for me immediately! The machine is now just like the day I bought it. Thank you sir!
Same exact thing happened to me had bought a new carb for mine installed it and thought everything would be gravy started it ran high and wouldn't idle down now i know what to do
I've been watching repair videos for year's and can't believe I just discovered this channel a week ago. It's amazingly funny and educational! Keep up the good work. This channel is gonna take off like a rocket when more people discover it. It's unique!
Thank you! I tinkered around the whole day last week. It would not start at all. So I cleaned the carb. It started on second pull but it would rev extremely high. I couldn't get it run normal. I almost gave up and was going to buy a new snowblower (bought mine used 13 years ago. Its got to be at least 20 years old). I spend some time searching for a repair video and this is the only one I found that explained how to adjust the governor. I must have installed the governor linkage arm improperly. Its running well now. Thanks again.
For $25 I bought a 1995 model of a very similar MTD snow blower with an 8 HP Tecumseh. I'm having to fix a few things on it, including the carb, and I made the mistake of removing the governor arm. But here is Taryl serving me exactly the dinner I need. I followed the instructions here, and now it is running pretty good. I wish I could leave a hundred likes for this.
Well that was awesome that made a subscriber out of me I've been watching now for a few and these tips have my go-kart running like a beast thanks man keep up the good work
I just want to say thank you Taryl I love everyone on your videos I've learned so much from your channel maybe one day I can meet you but this video in particular I had a troublesome org Tecumseh HH60 on a ariens rocket tiller I got for free and the linkage for the engine was missing and from your videos I made my own and tune the governor in the thing starts first pull now keep all the awesome videos coming I learn so much from you
Exactly the information I needed, working on an 8HP Tecumseh engine right now that runs too fast and I'm trying yo adjust the governor to slow it down, thanks Taryl and your videos are funny and very educational.
Tarly took the carb of to replace it with a new carb. Could not figure out why the throttle was not working. I did not realize why it would not increase in speed. I will flip the throttle control around to the top and it should be good to go. Keep the videos coming for guys like me,lol
Awesome, thanks. Just replaced the carb on an old gifted blower and I knew better than to disconnect the Governor, but of course I did and it’s idling way high. Hopefully I’ll adjust it like you show 8n the vid and all will be well. Perfect execution on the info.
Greeting from Winnipeg Canada. Really good video Taryl!!! I’ve always dreaded the governor as I dont have a tach but this video makes it really easy. I’m still gonna get a tach though.
LMAO, another great video. And we find out Taryl is quite a handyman too! Also THANK YOU TARYL for showing how to properly deal with the throttle and governator on a Tecumseh horizontal shaft engine, exactly the lesson I needed.
Where can I get a set of those teeth? Nice video...clear instructions with some comedy. Love it! These guys could make a sitcom and make millions. It's better than anything out there today.
Thank you making this video. Answered any questions I had except 1, is there any difference between the engine in the video and a pre 77' Tecomseh H35 3.5hp with the govenor linkage that is connected to a series 1 carburetor. Connected the linkage and the spring is still sprung without much tension.
excactly what i was looking for, I upgrade an old Canadiana, have changed the two belt, and a aftermarket carburator, and cleaned the gastank and hose so no dirt come in carburator, your video explain it all , thanks for youtube
I think that may have been the problem with my techumseh self propelled mower. It only seemed to run at half throttle even after the carb-u-traitor was cleaned. I think I screwed up the governor spring spinning the carb out on my impact drill. good to know!
If you ever decide to do a video on governor issues with the VLV55 motors with that stupid plastic tank carbetrator on it, I would watch it 100 times. I got one now that is kicking my butt.
I have a Tecmseh engine snow blower that I replaced the carb (bowl-less) after watching your videos. I can get it to start, but I need to keep pushing the primer bulb to keep it running. What should I check/adjust?
Well I picked up a john deere 726 with a tecumseh h70 on it with the throttle control on the handle bars would this be roughly the same way to set the governor without running into rod through block territory
Taryl, I'm a third generation mechanic from my grandfather in WW2, When I saw you conducting a symphony of small engines I subscribed, Id like to buy you a bourbon!
i bought a old Snapper 1030 Tecumseh that does not run, this old snapper is made of steel, i change my oil, tuned it up, bought a new fuel line, bought a new carburator, degreased it, cleaned the fuel tank really really good, pulled the cord 1 time and runs good, reverse good, lots of air in the chute, will order afriction wheel and i think i have myself a snowthrower for the winter, fingers crossed, thanks Taryl your a good teacher.
Whould the governor case surging of the engine because I replaced the carburetor with a new one and the ignition coil and still surging it start up great i can see the governor moving back and forth is it supposed to do that

Funny funny funny you guys are great. Working at a dealer for so many years i can relate to all your skits. Small engine repair is easy. Right?

When I saw you conducting a symphony of small engines I subscribed,
Id like to buy you a bourbon!
We're gonna build a fort! It's gonna be great!
