8 years later, this video is still helping people out.
life saver. the last time i called the lawn mower guy, i just had bad gas and he man-shamed me. i was happy to find this and I didn't even have to take the top cover off to access the gov spring.. THANK YOU!!
Thank you for this. I had this exact problem on the exact same engine, B&S 6.5. One day, for no reason I could determine, the RPMs were low. Just watched your video, went out there, removed the top cover, and sure enough the governor had gotten bumped. I made the adjustment, and it's back and working normally. My wife just said, "I don't know why people make these videos, but thank goodness they do." I appreciate you taking the time!

This video just spared a great running mower destined for the scrap yard! I've been pulling my hair out over this machine for a couple of weekends now. I went through everything! Then I found this video which immediately solved the problem! Now the mower is running better than before. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us and getting us out of a bind!
I bumped a power pole guide wire with the front of the Briggs and Stratton engine on my mower. the engine took a serious dive in RPM. i searched for an answer and came across this video. simple video, simple solution. that you very much...
Amazing great video fixed my problem
thank you so much for posting this video! I bought an "All fixed up" used mower that worked once and kept stalling after that. I don't know much about motors but am pretty tool savy. After changing the oil, air filter, spark plug, and cleaning the carburater, I decided to watch some TH-cam videos. I quickly realized the piece of wire holding the linkage together was a poor fix for replacing a 30 cent spring. Fires right up and runs fantastic!
Thank you for this video. I put in a new governor spring and carburetor and it still wasn't wanting to get up to speed. You video showed me how the arm was bent. I adjusted it and WHIZ BANG it runs like a charm.
This is my very first small engine repair ever. Thanks for all the help!!!
Many thanks for this video. This was the second time my lawn mower (SABO 43-Compact with the 2.4kW B&S engine) revved down when I tried to cut the grass under a bush. First time I brought mine in for repairs. Thought I'd lost a regulator spring or something, never guessed that silly part was bent that easily. Adjusted, erm bent, until I got the right RPM by ear.
June 16, 2020 - same thing , ran under a bush and rpm dropped .
Looked with no luck ; found this video and tried again .
Found that same size spring , But the rest is different ; noticed the plate the spring is attached to was bent - straightened that back , and now it works ok .
Thanks for the help, IT WORKED!!!! Thank God for people like yourself who take the time to make these videos.
This was the exact instruction that I needed to adjust my Toro engine after I mowing under bushes. Thank you.
Awesome! I'm a newb at this and had just rebuilt my carburetor and it ran wide-open. I found this video and realized my gov spring was twisted casing the problem. Readjusted the spring and it runs perfect!
Appreciate the video, I just fixed my elderly neighbor's mower with your help. Other things were wrong but at end the mower nearly blew up because the RPM's were too high, but your video showed me where to look to adjust.
Perfect. Solved a long "running" problem that I had with my mower. Thanks.
Wow, you just made my Craftsman mower a useful tool again! It's so easy when someone shows you how to do it. God bless you (and you tube)
Just saved me probably over 300 on buying a new one!,after watching dozens of vids that are 15 mins long to have no help then 5 mins later and 💥 bam works great
Thanks a ton. Was about to bring my mower to the shop and saw this video and fixed it 5 minutes later.
Very helpful video. I think that's what's wrong with my mower. I'll see if I can make the adjustment myself. .. Thanks for posting.
Thanks!-This fixed my low rpm problem after replacing my carb. I put the spring back in the wrong spot. Runs perfect now
Thank you so very much .... Just repaired my old Craftsman mower ... It runs like a dream ... Even repaired the primer ....
Thank you for this info. Just finished rebuilding my B&S small engine carburetor. Put everything back together and noticed that it seemed to be revving up. Now I know what to adjust.
Yes. Very simple. Push choke in all the way, loosen clamp bolt on carb move cable in or out till butterfly is fully open, tighten clamp bolt. All done! Good luck !
Worked exactly like you showed me, Thank you. I agree with the rattlesnake guy, get that thing outta there!!
These are cicadas. Very common in Texas and in the South in general.
Very helpful video. I just replaced the carburetor so I had to remove and replace that governor spring. I knew it had a purpose but had no idea what it was. My mower was running slow after the carb installation, and I am sure after watching this video that the spring needs adjustment. Can't wait to get home it out. Thanks again.
How I honestly "HONEST" being the word here wish I had someone like you near me I am ok on the spanners but sometimes I just need honest help and you sir are HONEST How good
this is to see I wish you well and hope you get what you deserve and I am sure you will It always pays does it not ?? Thank you for another great up load !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks mate. Mower's fixed, and you reminded me that common sense is often better than reading a manual.
same here, about to go find out if I did it right
Muchas gracias de todo corazón me ayudó mucho Dios te siga bendiciendo mucho y toda tu familia.
Thank you! You saved me a trip to the small engine repair guy
Yup. I adjusted the governor and it sped up. I'll get the blade sharpened and we should be ready to go. Thanks for the video.
John & Jodie Alpers - a file will work ? Business will grind a lot of metal off ?
Btw there’s a rattle snake in your garage
This was exactly what happened to me and it was the correct fix! You saved me and my wallet! Thanks man!
I just fixed my lawn mower because of you! Thanks!
Thank you so much! My mower is now running better than it has in two years!
Every once in awhile it is that easy. Good video.
Many thanks. Had problem and I thought it was the spring who had ended. Once again thanks for the solution.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M WATCH YOUR VIDEO AND LOOKING AT MY MOWER AND THERE'S MY BENT GOVERNOR ARM! THANK YOU!
Thanks, precisely my problem, impact damage to the base of the governor spring holder on the briggs & stratton 625e
THANKS A LOT FOR TAKING TIME OUT AND MAKING THIS VIDEO.
I had basically the same thing happen to me back about 15 20 years ago , but it was on an old tiller of mine
what do you do if it is revving crazy fast but the springs are all fine.
Good stuff !! Would like to see you use a tack to set the rpm in a future vid. Thanks
Thanks! You're a life (and $350) saver!
Thanks! It worked!
Thank you so much for this video. It made a big difference to me!
Perfect! Thank you!
It's called engine surge. Your culprit will be carburetor or governor issues. Or a combo of both
Spot on with my issue - thank you so much!
thx i did not know that can you move that arm while engine running thx harry
I'd suggest also taking a piece of wire (like a coat hanger) and bending it a couple of times to hold the flimsey tab in place. can hook it to the thicker piece that it moves with it. takes all of 10 minutes and 3 cm of wire
I have this same engine on a 21" self-propelled Troybilt mower and it has impressed me for over 10 years now.
Interesting question.
Anticipating the eventual replacement I was looking at new Toro mowers and a feature they have is that they stand it on the rear-end to conserve floor space. Toro touts the location of the fuel tank as making this possible.
Well looking at my Troybilt, the fuel tank on it is in the same place, the air filter, carb. and muffler are at the front of the machine and it seems to me that I could do the same thing with the mower I have.
Obviously neither Troybilt nor BS would ever recommend this. So the question is, can you think of a reason why a guy couldn't do this? Is there anything in the crankcase, etc. that would make this not-a-good-idea?
I thank you for your time and expertise.
Jim
Very helpful video. Thank you!
that covered it. all the stock adjustments. any more than that you'd have to change everything that is not worth it trouble or money for a little old push mower. this way and long as you change the oil and new plugs in it it should last longer than you.
Thank you I had the exact problem and you helped me fix it!!!
Thanks for your support
I WILL MAKE A VID SHOWING MY INDUCTANCE TACH WITH SPECS AND MODEL NUMBER
I was so happy to find this video to help me with my mower RPM problem. I did what you suggested and the mower started to run very nicely for about 10 min. Then it died and I can't get it started at all again. It seems like it isn't getting fuel now. Help! Did I mess up the carburator?
thanks thats exactly what happened to mine
JEREMY FOUNTAIN you mentioned the final governor. Is there more than one? Can you suggest (make quick video) on other enhancements such as cleaning out the carb?
thank you
no! thank you for watching
I will be trying this tomorrow, my mower I got used a year or two ago sounds so weak when I start it. It just is so quiet and my other mower's self propel is broken so I use that one on my flat yards but it sucks to use the weak one on hills because it doesn't run well in thick or tall grass
Don’t bend to much or it’ll start surging just quickly bend it back other way enough where mower will still turn of using throttle..it’s a fine line !
Use a tachometer, and then he does what the rest of us will do and does it by ear. Great video though it helped me.
Thanks!
Nice explanation however.......... my Toro Super Recycler has the B&S mechanical governor and it is idling way too fast. When I push in on the tension spring pawl in order to takes less spring pressure off, the idle stays the same, even with the spring loose! Any hints out there?
:10 BEFORE; 3:18 AFTER. I can hear the difference. Will try it shortly🙂
I've got a riding tractor whose governor spring us really loose with throttle in idle position and up to about half throttle, but then I see the spring starts to add resistance to the governor linkage from there up to full throttle. the tractor also seems to be slow flat out. should the governor spring have tension at throttle idle position?
I have the same mower new carb starts up fine but after it’s all warmed up it surges until it turns off can you help? I do notice the throttle body opens and closes quiet a bit when it’s about to die
Hey Mower Medic 1. Thank you for making these videos! I have a Briggs and Stratton 6.75 (same one on video) and I did just the same thing prior to seeing this vidio. I ran it for a bit, then it began to do the same thing. Idol speed jumping up and down, then it quits out. I removed carb, prayed it out with cleaner as well. Not sure what's going on now, but I can't find my dog because the lawn is so tall! Help me sir! Thank you from Gold Bar, WA
I have this same set up and cannot get the engine to stop surging, reving, hunting, whatever it's called lol. Cleaned the carb, no change. Replaced the carb, no change. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
You fixed my problem. Thank you and many blessings!
This is great info! Fixed my mower! Thanks!
Very nice tutorial on how to remove the lid, however, there is no detailed explanation on how to fix the governor spring. Or maybe the video was too dark for me to visualize.
Thanks anyway.
i changed the carb diaphragm, air filter, spark plug, oil and gas. the cord was stuck was what prompted the repairs. the mower ran hard, but I was able to adjust the governer flap. it still ran a little hard, but i mowed anyway since my yard is small. one of the repair guys here on youtube made it sound like running a little hard is okay. when i turned it off after i quick cut my grass, it was smoking just a little. the next time i tried to mow, the mower wouldn't start at all. is it too late to have hope for it?
cool brother , i just fixed my mower in 5 minutes , 👍👍
the throttle advance bracket is not movable as it is spot welded from the factory....you cant put cables on this particular engine dude. trust me ive been doing this for 20 plus years.
Worked like a charm! thanks
adjustment of governor on any engine is a no charge job.35 years as a master small engine tech makes a difference
Nailed it. for the win.
Good tips ! Thank you Jeremy.
Are you actually bending the arm that the spring attaches to, or is there some adjustment that I'm not seeing.
I Need to know witch way the flapper goes that the linkage connects to, I Had to take the linkage off when i took my carb off, I tried borh with and i cant get it started now...
You’re the best mate
Thanks so much !
I wish you had shown how you use a tachometer to adjust rpm.
Thank you for the tip! Very much appreciated!
How do you set rpm on 1989 10hp Briggs with a mechanical governor????
I've rebuilt a few push mowers. I have an 18 h.p. B&S. For no reason after changing the oil, my control level stopped working. The motor runs wide open no matter what I do with control lever. The governor is set right. The carburetor works fine, and I even went as far as pulling the crankcase to make sure the governor was good. It runs at 4200 r.p.m., and I can;t slow it down to 3600..............what did I miss? puzzled about this.
thank you so much very helpful
Got a big question that I can’t seem to find on a 32hp Briggs vanguard what should the idle rpm be can’t seem to find that info anywhere right now it’s running at about 1750 sometimes a little hire I believe that’s too high because when I shut it down the smell of gas is strong
This video got me going......big thanks
Hey man, you should get that rattlesnake out of your garage. Seriously.
😂😂😂😂
Jeremy I have that same mower except it's got front wheel drive. Started it up this morning and started normally was mowing and about 5 minutes in, the mower just stopped. It's got fuel and oil, does burn a little oil but runs great. I had a new spark plug changed it out and ran about 20 minutes and stopped again and now won't start. Hope you can help me out !!!
did the job , thanks for sharing .👍👌👍👌😉
Exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Hi Jeremy, I have to adjust a lever on top of the carburetor and the governor to get the mower running. Otherwise, the engine turns but starts to quickly die. I added more tension to the governor, but I still have to pull another lever in order to get it right. I cleaned the fuel filter, replaced the air filter and spark plug, but I still have to mess around with that particular lever. What should I do to get it back in normal mode?
A Tach is hooked to the Spark Plug correct and Ground
I was given a 5 hp briggs powered lawn mower with no throttle adjustment because the previous owner let the gas go bad. After draining the bad gas, pulling the carb and spraying all the holes and orifices with carb cleaner, It runs. But it barely idled. I tightened that spring by attaching it to something a little further away (because mine doesn't move like the one in the video), but it's still slow. What's on the other end of that rod that the spring hooks to? Is there a way to adjust that end?
Dave Harris Nevermind... mine does move like the one in the video. Contempt prior to investigation. :/
Have one just like that but 625. Slowly lost power and gradually stopped running. I think its the carb.
yes
