Horse Play 393 #1 Posted February 25, 2020 I'm in the process of finishing up my K91 and need some help on the throttle and governor setup. When I bought the engine, the throttle bracket was off the engine. Where does this go - between the block and speed control disc? With the slot cutout, what keeps it in place?

Horse Play 393 #2 Posted February 25, 2020 Should the speed control disc be straight? This is how it was shaped when I bought the motor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,141 #3 Posted February 25, 2020 Remove the governor arm, remove the nut and straighten out the disk. It's bent. You will see the shoulder on the back of the nut which pinches the slot on that bracket between it and the block. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Play 393 #4 Posted February 25, 2020 Thanks! Does removing the the nut and reinstalling at a different position change anything in the governor setup? I've never messed with these before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 49,627 #5 Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Don't know if this will help. How to set the governor is in the manual. 2nd pic is a K161 but should be similar. m The manual... what you are after is on page 5.1 Engine Kohler K91 K141 K161 K181 K241 K301 K321 SM 1972.pdf Edited February 25, 2020 by WHX24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never messed with these before. Nope. There's no rocket science in there so you'll be fine. It just supports that shaft, closes the hole and pinches that bracket.

WHX?? 49,627 #9 Posted February 26, 2020 Noticed this on the same bracket while refreshing a motor... any idea why the arrow is stamped in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Play 393 #10 Posted February 28, 2020 Thanks for all the help! I got it all apart. I ordered a new a new throttle disc shipped for under $10 - mine's really bent up and has an old throttle cable wire and end stuck in a hole. Does anyone know of where I can get the sheetmetal cable clamp that goes on the end of the throttle bracket? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scour the Hillman drawers at your favorite hardware store you should be able to find them. I believe the size you want is 1/8 or 1/4 " If you are in need of a nice little kit for the shelf... https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cable+clamp&crid=13E6RH7MJ3BYD&sprefix=cable+cla%2Caps%2C207&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
