bunson70 51 #1 Posted February 11, 2019 I'm putting my engine back into my 1968 Commando 8. It's a 8HP Kohler engine. I lost the wire that goes between the throttle linkage and the governor lever. Can someone tell me how long it needs to be from hole to hole? A picture would be helpful too. The last picture has the linkage on the governor lever. Also, I'm fairly certain on the routing for the throttle cable. I am not sure how the choke cable is routed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

wallfish 17,069 #2 Posted February 11, 2019 You can move the governor arm all the way left and open the carb butterfly all the way. Then measure between the the two holes for the length of the wire rod and where to put the Z bends. EXACT Precise length is not super critical as you will set the governor afterwards. Route choke cable under engine blower housing. Conduit clamps to the bracket. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
