Interesting thing i also decovered...its turns out my shut off safty cable has stretched. I wrap a wire around mine when mowing always...anyway i have to use plyers to fully pull my spring lever back before it will start...i will just modify it to work since there is zero adjustment...of course this is a separate issue,but i am glad i discovered this...first time i had this issue with a mower at all...
You did an excellent job making this video showing and explaining how governor arm is supposed to be set...actually i think this is the same 6.5hp briggs i have on my old yardman mower...i thought governor may have broke inside..i just put silicone o n old worn rubber purge button...i think that may have cause motor to run badly..once it drys i will start mower...i also rebuilt carb last year and mower has been running perfect...bought this for $25 ten years ago and it still has lots of power and does not smoke or burn oil,so i hope i can get it running good today...i even repaired the rusted out deck plus spent $20 on a new blade...😊 Thanks for sharing
My governor is set up exactly the way you showed...thinking governor is broken inside motor...it just wants to rev high no matter what i do...i did manage to finish lawn today and ordered a new carb...i am determined to get it working properly...once i get it fixed i will let you know...thanks
Brother, you saved me! I scoured RU-vid and elsewhere looking for my model of mower engine. Mine's a Craftsman branded 6.5HP mower and all I could find were the ones with the auto choke. Yours was the only video with this content. Thanks for taking the time to put this out. My mower is back up and running again. Thank you!
Dude thank you. Not only do you have the same exact lawn mower which I couldn't find any other videos that had it, but you did exactly what I needed you were right nobody else had any videos that kind of cover this exact issue and started where you started and left it kind of generic to tweak it I think is the word you used. Thank you man God people irritate me LOL thank you you'll get a like & subscribe just because your content actually help me and I've watch 100 billion videos. LOL damn
Great process of getting that going. I worked on one yesterday that a friend couldn't get running. Of course it had the blue jelly in the float bowl... a little bit of carb cleaner and compressed air and it is running great. New sub...
This was helpful to me, but it would have been better NOT to advance the video and to show the linkage a bit better. Will look to see if there is a better version, and if there is, you should delete this one! Another cause of the governor not working right is the linkage is bent, and it rubs against the mower housing. After I made some corrective bends in the linkage, the governor now works fine and the linkage no longer rubs against the housing.
My mower has this same engine I must have seen 200 videos showing carb replacement so I did it exactly how shown by several people and still nothing so tomorrow check the govenor. This sht always happens to me. I get nothing easy
@@ChrisXOutdoors so I took the carb apart completely, removed everything down so I could see all the parts on the mower, it was so compacted with grass everywhere, reassembled carefully. It works! But then it started leaking gas. Lol I think when I pinched the fuel line I put a small crack in it but I have extra so I will cut a new one and make sure nothing else is causing a leak and see what happens. Thanks again!
