- Yup, sounds like a standard small engine governor. Supposed to hold the rpm relatively constant, regardless of load. The end at the motor would be some sort of mechanism that pulls (or pushes) harde

- That's the governor. It takes engine speed (usually from the air coming off the cooling fins on the flywheel acting on a vane, or by a connection into the crankcase) and limits it by being directly c

- On the engine itself, find the model number, usually stamped somewhere on the muffler or close to it. Google the model number for the parts list. Depending on how handy you are, you can take the carb

- right, so I'm a genius. it's THIS engine. I mean, the only thing missing are the honda identifying stickers. those chinese are getting really, really good at copying stuff. http://www2.northerntool.c

- It'll be crisper with a direct connection and should run just fine. Depending on the carb size, it may bog slightly if you floor it too fast; the governor damps that action a bit. Worst that can happ

- alright, I got it running by taking it more-or-less apart and guessing as to which hole the governor's spring went into. that thing is a death trap. my son and I love it. but it's still doing the rpm

- The rod is the connection from the governor to the throttle. It's probably oscillating because there is no load on the engine, but it might be the spark plug or poor mixture. The spring won't provide

- Boy, does that bring back memories. I must've been about 11 when we tried building a go-kart out of old lawnmower parts. Wooden chassis, steering by pivoting a 2x4 on a central bolt, belt drive to o

- It's that complex because it's application is supposed to be a constant-speed application; as are also generators, welders, pumps, and most applications for small engines, for that matter. Engines ar
