Craftsman 917377131 Mower

[Lionsfn]

Up date , mower was over reved and now governor has no push. Is it a loose connection or a bad governor?

 

[reddragon]

are you saying the engines revving and blade is turning but no drive wheels are working?

 

[Lionsfn]

It has no push from the governor arm. I have to manually hold the governor to idle the motor.

i have the same mower..ill take a look at mine and get back to you:wink:

Can you tell if the shaft is tight to the lever, or is it loose at that connection? :smile:KennyV

 

[reddragon]

is the linkage to the carb in its original shape?...is the long return spring still there?

 

[reddragon]

if your linkage and spring and lever are ok.....your in trouble...it probably threw a governor weight or damaged the spool....

 

[reddragon]

id drain the oil and see if any little parts come out with it:frown:

 

[Lionsfn]

Yes the spring is orignal . I am in the process of draining the fluids and doing a little more research. Thanks
