Don't want to hyjack, but I've got two quick questions... where is everyone getting their red springs & how much $. I would like to try one.

The other thing I forgot to add pertained to rpm's. These engines have a rev limiter built in, so you may not actually be over-revving the engine. If you installed a tach its very easy to select the wrong detent/selector for quantity of cylinders. Most small engines limit out at 3600 or so, you can disable or remove the rev limiter but it entails some effort, so if you didn't tamper with it, the rpms shouldn't really be that high.
Dug into the governor and rev limiter a little bit last night. It appears as if the linkage that hooks to the throttle and then under the air cleaner became unhooked. There is a small spring on the outside of the linkage and it looks as if that may have came loose and is now damaged. I am planning on working on it this weekend to see if i can get fixed.
