Snapper SR-1642

[Jixy]

I need help with my riding mower Snapper SR-1642 guys

(Engine: Briggs & Stratton 30377 1145-E1)

After mowing today, I pushed the throttle lever all the way up (do not ask why at which time the engine revved to the max and stayed there, adjusting the throttle handle would not work, so I switched key off. Upon inspecting the carburetor area, I noticed that the cable from the throttle handle was attached correctly... BUT, there is something amiss between the lower portion of the mechanism and the carburetor area.

I have the cable loose now, that is why the wheel/cable area look a bit "off".

So, the throttle cable is actually engaging and rotating the area marked as "A", but that is not transferring up to the carb via the pin with the spring. The pin is correctly attached to both the carb and the lower mechanism. I feel that the pin is riding high, if it was lower, the throttle cable would help close the carb.

Any suggestions? Thanks folks.

This is a picture of the opposite side of the bar attached to the governor:



if something was pulling this bar down, the pin would ride lower closing the carburetor. I wonder if a spring broke off, but besides the insert hole on the bar, I did not see any telltale signs of where the spring could have been attached to the body. There is a hole on the bottom frame, but dirt level makes it seem like nothing was in there.

Two more images for the governor area/bar:

I am not sure if I am referring to the bar attached to the governor properly, but is there a spring that is supposed to be pulling it down, to counteract the two pulling up?
