Need Help with a Briggs and Stratton engine

Throttle Spring Checked and Bought New Again

Heh Fellas I just thought about something concerning my problem with the Briggs and Stratton.I think the replacement part I got from the shop was not OME.I will go and check,seems I remember seeing Oregon on the package.If that spring is not the exact replacement part that could be the whole problem.

Okay I went and checked the throttle spring again and the packaging it came in.It is an original B&S part and according to all sources that I have read and asked it is the correct spring.But I slightly bent the new one I put on a few day's ago,so back to the shop and bought another one,same spring and part number.$9.00 with tax, I guess that's cheaper than a new lawnmower.I will try and stick it on tonight and let you fellas know the outcome
Thanks
Lawrence

Fellas this for any of you who kindly replied to my dilemma.I don't want to step on toe's or seem the least bit ungrateful for all that you have done trying to help me fix this problem.BUT if you look at my past posts on this thread I have pretty much listed all that I have done to this carb and governor,linkage etc. to try and fix this.I have had a couple of replies that ask have I done this or that to fix the problem.If I have done it i think I have it listed in prior posts.
Again,I'm not trying to be ungrateful or appreciative to anyone
Many Thanks
Lawrence

Loosen the governor arm and move it towards the carb. There will be a happy medium in there ,you just have to find where. Start out by holding the carb at wide open and rotate the governor pin ccw all the way. This is how it should be set. Your holes in the carb and gov arm are probably worn out so you have to adjust the pin and arm on the governor. Mark the pin and arm so you can see how much you arm moving it.

Maybe a little clarification is in order.
Remove the cable and leave it out of the loop for now.

The gov. is the air vane thingy under the cover, the faster the flywheel spins
the more air is forced against the gov/vane, and pushes it to lower the rpms.
The spring is what controls the rpms, so you bend the bracket like I showed in my pic to set it at the desired rpm.
You do not bend or distort the spring.

You pull the arm that the spring hooks to, bending it to increase the
tension on the spring.

If, after you have increased the rpms, and hands are off the engine, the engine rpms go up and down, called "hunting", then it is from a lean condition,
which may just mean you need to put on the air filter.
If that doesn't cure it, you either have a clog in the carb still, or it is sucking air from somewhere.

When you first start out be quick to shut it down. She may be running well over max rpm.

Sorry, this is a air vain gov. I`ll get the books out and read a bit on the air vain gov

Can you take the cover off and take a picture? Some air vain can be adjusted.
