Is anybody familiar with this motor?
This old motor maybe from the 70's was surging so I exchanged the carb for a new after market one which seemed to work fine until I refuelled it and then it would not start or if it did it only turned over twice. There is a good spark and compression seems fine.I tried fresh fuel as well. I suspected the carb as it was a cheap part and could have failed but when I removed it I noticed that the govenor lever was ccw, is it meant to be that way on this model? it does not move when starting.
Prior to the not starting issue the motor did not have a run away problem as if it had a faulty governor.
The reason I ask is that I saw this website about govenor failure

It is a different engine though but same make, I don't want to disassemble the motor if the lever is as it should be and the fault lies else where.
