It definitely controls both ends of the rpm range.

It has been mentioned before that I could possibly have a strange bus (my words)...but if my engine governor settings are not correct, it causes issues ranging from the output shaft to the ability to simply start the engine...all the systems I thought of and a couple I didn't (at that time).

If you read da book you will see there is an idle adjustment screw.

It's on the carburetor right next to where the linkage hooks up!

Don't forget, any time you adjust the idle it's a good idea to replace the muffler bearing.

Unless it has the new ceramic muffler bearings already installed they last like 30 times longer than the teflon ones!

OK, my first reaction is to start laughing?

baker4106 · March 13, 2017, 03:41:02 PM

I'm in Florida and my book is in Michigan so I can't send you the instructions. The idle adjustment is on the top of the governor. Setting the max rpm is easy if no one has miss adjusted the insides. Seeing how everyone just wants to make remarks, I won't post again. Send me your email and I will get back to you. Larrydbaker@aim.com. good by to everyone else, too bad you didn't want to help him.
