This is for younger drivers, so pulling the governor is not an option. Doesn't anyone have one of these that they could snap a picture of?

I found a spring just laying on my garage floor after removing and cleaning the carb on my old Briggs 3hp. I am having difficulty figuring out where it goes. It has a round end, then the spring, then a 90 arm end with a hook. The parts diagrams don't have any of the linkage in place and i...

Instead of using a throttle stop on my kids' new clone, I simply used a ring terminal (Blue fit just right) that I soldered onto the throttle cable. It works smooth. An afternoon of running and it hasn't budged. Dry fit it first so you can pull as much cable through the ring terminal as needed...
