the sump on, the governor shaft will not catch the
governor cup. This will prevent the governor from
changing the engine rpm and usually presents as
an over-speeding engine.

Chapter 10: Disassembly.
12. Rotate the governor shaft clockwise as far as it will
go.

described in the previous section.
15. Install the engine on the unit.
16. Test run the engine and adjust the top no load engine
RPMs by following the steps described in “Disassem-
bly and rebuilding the carburetor” section of this
