Got 20 year old Snapper self propelled mower with a B&S motor. Always runs like new, but took a break from mowing, came back and started it up and it will just idle, won't even try to come up to speed.
I checked the linkage to carb and the butterfly is wide open, after messing with it, it started and ran fine. Stopped it again and when restarted it would only idle.
I'm thinking it must be a problem with the governor, a few times it started to speed up for a second and then go back to idle.
Any suggestions or hints for fixing the governor would be welcome. I don't want to spend a lot of $$$ fixing a 20 year old mower.
