Help on if throttle should be changed

[Harmon IV]

GC 160 Honda 5 HP off a power washer

I've searched for my answer but haven't see a set up like I have.

I've read they run wide open once they start. I'm wondering what I need to do to make my throttle work. I got everything ready to go except my throttle.

The gold one is the throttle. But its hooked into the governor , you'll probably have better luck it you remove the it (gov.).

So I can do away with the spring and linkage from governor to the throttle?

The governor in Its entirety. Along with the low oil sensor.

If I remove all that Do I need anything extra to hook up my throttle other than a return spring and throttle cable?

The one off my Cub Cadet rototiller is the same way. What I did was make a lil' bracket (Stole one off a mountain bike) to hold the throttle cable in place with the valve cover bolt. You'll have to get a throttle cable with the S hook on it (Or get a S hook and loop/crimp the wire to it. You'll want to keep the return spring and mount it someplace. And detach the governor rod. You should be set.

Remember on that engine the exhaust will point forward towards the seat.

It's on a mini bike, but still relevant.

The guy in that thread hooked his up to the governor. ... I don't know what a pressure washers gov. is set at. You'll need to make a cable retainer.

Can't remember where, but I know I did see someone a different throttle arm on a GC engine to make it usable.
