Just found this video after picking up an old Craftsman tiller with this motor that won't start. Pretty sure you've pointed me towards the solution. Many thanks!

Glad I could help

I hate adjusting governors , it's such a tedious process . Great video Robby . I know it's older but I'm trying to get caught up on your videos. Take care and catch you on your next one.

[@small_engine_repair]

Yeah I turn it all the way one way or the other.

Thanks , fuel pickup clogged with a tiny piece of debris because of not having the mesh filter. Made one from an old stainless steel french press filter. Running great!

[@small_engine_repair]

Nice work!

I have a wood-chipper with this engine on it, this was helpful. The exhaust on mine is totally different and I couldn't figure out a way to remove it because of the bend in the pipe, but I got by

[@small_engine_repair]

I have a go kart with this engine that’s a 3 horse power that won’t start. Can I just take the governor all the way off?

[@small_engine_repair]

Leave the governor on and get it running. You could remove the governor once you get it running but you will barely know the difference. With the governor off you will eventually break something in the engine because the excessive rpm.

[@joemiller5669]

Where did you buy and get the diaphragm and spring from?

[@small_engine_repair]

Joe, eBay.

[@joemiller5669]

Thank you

[@FJB752]

Hopefully by now U figured out the proper way to set it, because this is NOT the proper way.

[@small_engine_repair]

Are you talking about the governor, or ?

[@philliphall5198]

Those cheap China diaphragm do that. Use B/S parts

[@small_engine_repair]

Good to know.

[@albertoserrano4736]

True I did replace carb on a verticutter and had low power so im thinking that cheap 20 dollar carb is trash can this be re ringed resleeved

Research ether dependency

[@small_engine_repair]

ok

[@techman1274]

Sloppy repair work! You used old gaskets plus used old gas without cleaning the tank or the carburetor. The Governor didn't need adjusting thats why it has a throttle and a spring. for adjustment. If you watch a you tube Governor adjustment video instead of making your own you would under stand how a governor works and is set. Video's like this can cause others to destroy a piece of equipment.

[@small_engine_repair]

I will do better next time.
