TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #4 Posted January 24, 2010 I'm not able to get to mine for pictures right now, but maybe these posts from another forum will help. Do you have access to the B&S engine manual? It will help you with setting up the governor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgtsampay 117 #5 Posted January 24, 2010 Hi man. I have the same enigne and I jsut took the whole thing apart today and put it all back to together for a different reason. LOL Anyway, the govenor has a little spring and a arm that connects from the back of the carb (The little lever without the spring attached to it, the spring one is where the choke arm goes to) then the govenor arm/sp[ring go to the large tall lever behind the trottle cable. There is also a normal sized srpign that connects to the large tall lever behind the trottle to the hole in the silver spinning plate that the trottle moves around when it you move up and down. I hoep this help and if you need some pic, I can try to get some tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #6 Posted January 24, 2010 Hi man. I have the same enigne Your lawn tractor has a vertical shaft engine. (crankshaft runs top to bottom) A GT-1142 is a garden tractor with a horizontal shaft engine. Similar - yet very different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgtsampay 117 #7 Posted January 24, 2010 :thumbs: I'm sorry, I just saw the link to the other forum and saw that it was about the vertical one. I didn't know that the GT has the other one. Sorry. I will just go now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hallas 0 #11 Posted January 28, 2010 Crappiest pictures ever. Governer linkage is related to throttle cable around the carb maybe? Advise if you need a different pic, sorry it took so long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
