Ex17 throttle pictures

[950speed]

Hello this may not be worth it but I’m giving it a shot,

Does anyone have an ex17 or similar motor, and is willing to remove the air box so I can see the throttle linkages?

Yes, so the issue I was having, sorry I should have included this when I first typed the thread, is I don’t have the spring that is shown in the picture attached Therefore the throttle isn’t held open by the govoner when being started. Is it necessary to have the spring and have throttle open upon start up? Or would it be fine if I manually held it open, which I don’t mind doing

Red is pointing to spring. Green is length the spring runs.

Its very similar to a clone type carb/gov setup.. so yes its nessisary...
With that being said... do you have a clone set to match against... might even work on it...

I do in fact have a clone, it’s a Briggs 208cc but a clone. So what’s the point of that spring other than to hold it open upon startup? That’s all I see the point of it for
