I got the head back yesterday and got it all back together today. It all started fine and idled good for a few minutes but when I increased the rpm's it all of the sudden went wide open throttle and I couldn't get it slow down. I had to choke it to slow it down. I checked the governor linkage and I have it set correctly. The carb throttle keeps opening up if I don't hold the linkage. If I take the small spring off the throttle link and lever it will idle normally but will surge if I increase the rpms. I've tried different holes on the governor lever and it goes WOT every time if I keep the spring attached to the throttle link and lever. For whatever reason the spring keeps it from closing. I'm thinking something might have happened to the governor.
I was reading around the site and came across a thread where some mentioned a clock spring on the carb on a different engine. This could solve my throttle problem but I didn't see any clock spring on my carb. I need to try to find one that would fit. I'm sure one would have enough tension to keep the throttle from opening up on its own.
In the meantime my grass keeps growing.
