Troy Bilt B&S pressure washer throttle linkage

The thing is I will almost bet that the model numbers on this engine are not in a location listed in the attached post. I will bet the numbers are stamped into the side of the block beside the muffler on what would be the right side of the engine, if the valve cover is facing away from the person. And none of the Briggs model number find reference that location.

Good point ILENGINE. I can't tell you how many machines Ithat have looked up, trying to find the location of those numbers, only to discover they are in the stated location EXCEPT for my particular piece of equipment! This is a good starting point though. Thanks for the tip!

Wait until you go looking for the model number on the Briggs XR engines where it is stamped into the mounting flange next to the oil drain plug and the engine is mounted to a piece of equipment that required either a mirror, or a borescope to get down into the crevice to read the numbers that are covered in oil.

Put a drop of oil on linkages & all moving parts.

Springs look to tight, not allowing the governor to operate under a load. Is the unloader working? could be stuck in open position.

Through my experience, the model/serial number placards of the unit are underneath the unit, so you about have to roll it over to see it. B&S numbers normally stamped on valve cover or blower housing, or in a QR code on a sticker.

I have a not-too-old Troy Bilt pressure washer powerd by a Briggs and Straton 175 engine. The throttle linkage is off, which results in a wonky idle and it not reving when I pull the trigger. Having searched for pictures of the linkage online and found none, I'm turning to this forum for some help. Can anyone guide me to figuring out what is wrong here, please? The arm that runs vertically in these pictures pops off the pivot point easily (too easy?) when I mess with it.

It appears that the spring on the right side of the photo is binding on the carb lever.
