when you floor the gas on my engine it revs up but then the shaft going through engine where acc. linkage is hooked to, pulls the acc back.You can acc. again but the shaft going int engine that linkage rotates on pulls acc. back.You can't even hold it open because of how hard it pulls back on linkage.It's been like this since I have had this thing.Is this like a governor and is it normal,I hope not cause you can't get any speed out of it this way.If I take linkage off shaft it will acc without being pulled back.Problem is I need to have linkage on that shaft for acc. linkage to work right.This is a 16h.p. tecumsch engine.ANY HELP

yea that is the governor you can unhook it and just reroute the throttle cable i do it all the time to everything that i have. just put a spring on the carb to hold back the throttle and hook the cable to the throttle plate

I will give it a try, thanks

There is a bolt on the bottom of the governor lingage that can control the max rpm. If you screw it out it will allow the linkage to go back further. Make sure the cable is pulled pretty tight at idle so to take all the slack off making it pull its maximum travel. I would try that first.

I got the direction of screwing wrong and edited it.

I ck'd the screw stop at bottom of linkage and it is already backed off where linkage never hits it.I get full travel of acc.,the governor just pulls it back as soon as it revs up. thanks

Then the spring might be in the wrong hole. Try moving the spring around and see what happens.

Biggus, are you sure your throttle cable is tight enough too. I had that problem when I installed a new cable. If you need the manuel PM me your email and I can shoot you over a copy that shows the right governor set up.

[biggus]

I tried to pm you my email to get copy of governor set up but i don't know if it went through .let me know if it didn't and i'll try again. Thanks biggus
