How to Repair a Governor on a Husqvarna Snow Thrower 

Hey Bruce...you won the battle and the war against the fiddle fairies!! Great job getting back to where it is ...a reliable snowblower.

Hi Bruce. . .Working on those 2 cycle snow throwers is much less aggravating if you remove the lower belly pan as well as the top cowling. The extra time taken to do so really makes the job much less annoying. They are poorly engineered and are a pain in the patoot to work on. Takes too much time to repair and is usually not worth the effort. I don't take them in for repair anymore because most of the time they have been neglected and the owners usually ask me to repair them the day before a snow storm is expected. I admire your patience. . .Thanks for all your videos. I enjoy watching you.

How's she goin'? Man-O-Man this machine just didn't want to get fixed eh!! What a battle. That was a good catch on the governor though Bruce. I figured there was no stopping you till you figured it out. I laughed when the text came on saying "I'm videoing this for the next guy."!! That was priceless!! LOL I guess you'll not work on this machine again for a long time!! Take 'er easy!!

Good one Bruce - it's always the lilttle things 😀

Thanks bruce, it dont take much hey interesting

Hey Bruce, Should have pulled the shroud open with a bungee cord, would have given you both hands to work with. 🙂

Nice job, it was a bit tricky getting to all the bits though.

It seems to me that it would only take a moment to remove the wheels for easy access and less cuts and bruises

I have to admit that there is no way I would waste time fighting that belly pan. It would be taken off and customer duly charged, but I actually think job would have been easier and less time even with removing the pan. Just my 2 cents lol

What is preventing that damn lower cover from coming off? Like you say, a good night's sleep usually brings the problem to light, but usually at 3AM! OK, that lower cover goes below the axle. The lower cover on my toro two stroke comes off pretty easily, but no nice access plate for spark plug changes like this one. God forbid you have to service the recoil on my toro, half the frame has to come apart to get the cover off. Yeah, Mr. "Fixit" was messing with that governor for sure

Good fix customer should be pleased tell them to watch the video to see the aggravation they caused which i am sure Bruces Shop did not charge enough for eh?

Great video BruceMaybe a chainsaw video one day?

Torx bit on an allen/hex head screw isn’t ideal. Higher torque applications it can round out the screw heads.
