I replaced the head gaskets on this motor and now I can't figure out the governor spring set up. It runs but the springs are not correct. I can't find a diagram of the spring placements. Could someone post a pic of the setup please... Thanks in advance. Help this is my second post. I have contacted Kohler but they have not responded.

what is the spec number?

67518

8mm governor shaft version

or just in case you had engine before serial 3004604141 here is the 6mm version.

I have attached photos of the front and the rear of the governor linkage assemble I believe there are two springs with this model . This first picture has two circles. This view is with the governor assembly removed and looking from the inside of the assembly. One in red and One in blue. I know that the end of the spring in red goes to the bottom of the governor arm connect to the motor. I am not certain that the blue connection is accurate. There was another smaller spring connected about 4 inches just to the left of the red circle it appears as a tab with a hole in it where the smaller spring attached one end.

The second picture is view looking directly at the front of the assembly which has been removed so that I could review the read of the assembly.

The governor spring does not connect to a fixed point. It need to be attached the moving lever on the control bracket.

IF I remember correctly the main governor spring goes where the star is drawn. I currently don't have a Kohler v-twin on the yard so I can't look at one here. I believe where got the blue end currently is where a governor idle spring goes if you engine had one. I also think you got the spring backwards.
