I have a 3.5hp engine 95202 5105-01 from about 1982.
The original carb did not have a primer bulb but was replaced (by a local dealer) with a primer model. That worked fine for years.
Due to bad starting and weak primer I stripped the carb, cleaned all and replaced the diaphragm and gasket. Engine started but VERY rough and uncontrollable so then I played with the governor spring (yep - not a good idea!) and now have to buy a new one. B&S site does not list the partnum for the correct spring but visually it looks like 260877 (now nil stock).
The question:
Every video I see about this engine type seems to show both a carb spring and a governor spring.
Question: When did B&S change from one spring to two and should I have 2 springs on my engine?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Mik
