I've got an old tiller I bought few months back that has just been driving me nuts with the governor.
I had to replace the internal governor that runs off the cam since it was in pieces at the bottom of the crankcase when I got it. I got a new internal governor and put it all back together and it still doesn't maintain a constant speed and will over-speed if you let it. When I till I have to move the throttle up to maintain engine speed and move it down if I pull it out of the ground, essentially I'm the governor.
I even took it into a small engine repair shop after I couldn't get to work right. They gave it back to me a said it was fixed but they didn't till with it. It doesnt work any better than before.
Any advice on an old Tecumseh 6hp and how to get the governor to work?
