Govenor

[Thedude]

I have an Briggs and Stratton 8hp 1981 engine that was taken off a welder. I have just realized that the govenor is set to run the engine at full throttle. How would I make this run with a gas pedal????? The manuel is in this link....

Does moving the throttle lever to the idle position not work?

I had a 3hp briggs like that, does it by any chance have an air vane governor? you may just have to disable it and run it ungoverned.

i would just remove the govenor and not over rev it.

if you want to keep the gov find a little spring atatched to the linkage and hook a cable to the end that was hooked on a tab or whatever that didn't move.
