    My Lord! I have looked ALL OVER Google-land to find this exact and precise information. Taryl - I salute you for a precise, detailed, simple explanation of the proper linkage and governor settings for my Tecumseh 11-hp snowblower engine. I NEEDED THIS!
    I put on a new carburetor, and I could not get the thing to run right! It would always run at the high-throttle setting, (not over-revving), and I could not get any intermediate speed settings. When I replaced the carb, I did indeed tweak that little governor arm-pivot-screw, but I thought I put it back in the same place. Since the carb was new (an expensive Tecumseh factory carb) I had to presume everything was good with the carb (non-adjustable job) - I did, however, verify the float bowl setting. It was right on the money. I use ethanol-free gas and everything. I spent an hour tweaking the idle and high-speed screws, but I could not get the beast to decrease its speed to idle.
    After sleeping on it and giving it much thought, I figured it MUST be the governor... but after hours of searching, I could find nothing but hit-or-miss adjustments. Then I found your channel! This is THE ONLY video I have found that shows EXACTLY what to do and how to do it. In fact, you have another video (May 2015) that shows a slightly different way to set the governor, but this one is, by far, the best. It is simple, concise, and it worked for me immediately! The machine is now just like the day I bought it. Thank you sir!

    For $25 I bought a 1995 model of a very similar MTD snow blower with an 8 HP Tecumseh. I'm having to fix a few things on it, including the carb, and I made the mistake of removing the governor arm. But here is Taryl serving me exactly the dinner I need. I followed the instructions here, and now it is running pretty good. I wish I could leave a hundred likes for this.

    Thank you! I tinkered around the whole day last week. It would not start at all. So I cleaned the carb. It started on second pull but it would rev extremely high. I couldn't get it run normal. I almost gave up and was going to buy a new snowblower (bought mine used 13 years ago. Its got to be at least 20 years old). I spend some time searching for a repair video and this is the only one I found that explained how to adjust the governor. I must have installed the governor linkage arm improperly. Its running well now. Thanks again.

    Tarly took the carb of to replace it with a new carb.
    Could not figure out why the throttle was not working.
    I did not realize why it would not increase in speed.
    I will flip the throttle control around to the top and it should be good to go.
    Keep the videos coming for guys like me,lol

  • @alienmagma
    @alienmagma 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Awesome, thanks. Just replaced the carb on an old gifted blower and I knew better than to disconnect the Governor, but of course I did and it’s idling way high. Hopefully I’ll adjust it like you show 8n the vid and all will be well. Perfect execution on the info.

    It's so amazing how you can come up with fresh original ideas for skits every week, kudos to you, taryl. I have a good idea for a repair segment, show how to properly replace the spring in a older Briggs recoil starter. I have lots brought to me after the owner gave up, trying to coil the spring inside the housing then hook it on the pulley then try to quickly get the fully seated before the whole thing shoots out like a snake. I stick the spring in the slot in the blower housing, hook it on the pulley, install the pulley and bend the tabs over. Then just turn the pulley and wind the spring in, then taking a pair of needle nose pliers and hooking the end of the spring into the blower housing slot. Then just wind the spring until tight, back off until the hole in the pulley lines up with the rope opening in the housing. I take a tool I made from a broom handle and a piece of throttle cable inner wire that's been flattened on the end and ground into a hook like on a sewing seam ripper and hook it into the end of the rope and fish it thru the rope opening in the housing and into the hole in the pulley and tie a double s knot and then there's your dinner!

You were acting me when you showed the adjustment for those who took it apart and didn't know how to set it. My excuse is I was replacing an 8.5 hp with a 10 hp, and had to take it apart. (Tim Taylor told me if I put a bigger engine on it, I could blow the snow back to where it came from.) Thanks for this excellent very clear explanation. Much appreciated.
