Thanks a lot from Germany! I have an scarifier with an B&S series 800 engine 205ccm. My engine was running with changing revolutions, up and down. After setting it with your help it runs smoothly. Thanks a lot!
Thanks! Those who eat and sleep engine or those who have a lot of experience troubleshooting would have this figured out in seconds. I never even heard of governor arm or how the engines even function. I learned all this watching other people's video and reading articles online. I put an ad up to sell this thing. I find it funny that I either figure things out or things start to work whenever I give up and try to sell it. Things from computers, TVs and engine. I think they have feelings. I think if I truly understand engines and how each part works, I would have this figured out. It was just hours after posting the for sale ad, I found an article that explain this to me. Most videos tell you clockwise, which wasn't my case. Now I understand every part of the engine at least well enough to troubleshoot the simple problems. It was relief to finally understand how it works. I went on to fix a weedwacker too. I also made a video on that. There is a lot of experts here but I figure it might be easier for a novice to understand another novice. It's funny how I think I can fix almost everything now. 8 ) Thank you so much for your time and input.
I have the same type, but my throttle butterfly stays wide open regardless of the lever position. Any idea/s?? Never-mind, I got it running. Apparently some stay wide open when not running & the governor pulls it down to idle. Thanks, take care from Tn.
Just found out how to reply. Some reason RU-vid setting had your comment highlighted. Had to pin it in or to replay. There may be another cable to pull it close and open. I'm not an engine expert but most that I've seen has a lever to close or partially open it. If you put it on choke, it closes. If that lever is there, maybe it needs adjusting. In the end, it's all good as long as it's running and running well.
thanks for video got used craftsman snow shredder seized engine , fixed engine still no start , cleaned carb and now runs slight rough with choke 1/2 way
