Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I’ve looked all over for the correct orientation of the springs. Great vid!

[@MowerMan]

Glad to help

[@alexcopeland5613]

Thank you for this. And yes, I am here because my mower is revving up and down, so thank you for that part too

[@mullbergstommy]

Awesome. Helped me get it to work. Great calm talking too, not a minus when I'm feeling nerved out. Thank you.

[@MowerMan]

Thanks Thomas

[@emmarowley1096]

Brilliant video. I had changed the gaskets a year ago but ended up breaking my leg and shattered knee cap so couldn't remember which way the governor springs went back on, I should have taken a photo when I disassembled it but didn't honestly think I was going to take over a year to finish the job!!! Thank you.

[@MowerMan]

Glad to help!

[@jampot20000]

Thanks your video was most helpful after replacing the diaphragm and gasket tge springs snapped

[@boblombardi9397]

Always wondered about the purpose of the extra holes and bends in the metal tab that the big spring goes to.....Thank you

[@MowerMan]

Cheers Bob!

[@johnnyriser8519]

Thanks for the video. The information is helpful. I am trying to see the placement of the governor spring on a Generac GTV-760 (050582) engine that is on a Dixie Chopper zero turn mower. The spring came lose, and I'm unsure where it goes. Thanks.

[@krosendahl1964]

I am needing to increase rpm on b&s 450e series. All videos have show the metal thing to turn. I done have that adjustment. Please help! 2:37

[@MowerMan]

stretch the springs a bit

[@martinburgess4814]

Well done brill video as allways,hope you are all keeping safe and well

[@MowerMan]

Thanks Martin we are all doing OK. Hope you are also!

[@martinburgess4814]

@@MowerMan yes thanks, doing what we can,especialy as we are in Tottenham

[@butler386]

Those springs look complicated and a bit tricky to replace and get them hooked up properly. You simplified it as much as possible. Thanks for helping. Thank you for sharing.

[@MowerMan]

Thanks!

[@vincenzo02tii]

I am replacing the governor springs on an old B&S 3.5 hp push mower and I am baffled that there is no tab on the bracket for the smaller spring! Are there other styles of brackets on these engines? It looks otherwise identical to the engine in this video!

[@mhunter925]

This fixed my issue! Thanks so much

[@MowerMan]

Welcome!

[@bumblebee9727]

Hi, I am having a big problem with two springs that I took off and didn't take a picture of to return them to the right place. Could I send you some pictures to see if you can possibly help me get them in the right place/

[@bandit9829]

Thank u so much i needed this video

[@herbertvanrensburg6411]

What are the dimensions of the wire connector as I cannot find one?

[@stevedarby3470]

Just brought one, waiting for it to arrive .

[@MowerMan]

Why did you buy them Steve?

[@lord.onk99]

Very well explained Paul, cheers.

[@MowerMan]

Thanks Ken! I do my best!

[@kyleough8232]

What is the metal piece with the loop called that the springs attach too?

[@MowerMan]

Governor arm

[@MowerMan]

or linkage

[@ronaldpeterson5598]

Replaced the carb gaskets just as you did. And still my mower revs up and down, a minute then dies. Takes several pulls to get it started again. What did I do WRONG?

[@cupholder7758]

Engine surge....Lots of vids on YT to fix.

[@deltafour1212]

What a godsend!

[@grahammacfarlane1726]

Why did you NOT connect the second end of the link connector!?

[@MowerMan]

Which PART of the video?

[@DeadManInBlack]

What's the best way to coil them/remove them without trashing the springs.

[@MowerMan]

Unhook with a flat head screwdriver

[@DeadManInBlack]

@@MowerMan many thanks does that not strain the metal on the coiled parts though so they don't loop properly anymore? Your videos have been an amazing help, my 15yo+ champion/Briggs and Stratton Classic 35 should purr after all the maintenance. Any suggestions on grease please or just a standard lithium multi purpose will do for the various bits?

[@charlesirish6923]

Amazingly helpful

[@elotus9743]

hiya, i picked up and old mountfield sp550 with a 6hp briggs engine and its running flat out, last person couldnt get it on ive got it on but now revs too high, its governor spring wasnt attached to wrong place but it seems to have a different type that im not use to has a long metal rod going to the back of the mower for the throttle speed and the metal rod doesnt seem to come back or forth with the new governor springs i have? any ideas? or if you have a fb page or something happy to send images

[@MowerMan]

not sure I can help with that tbh sorry

[@ศรีกฤษณ์เลาห์จีระกุล-ฐ1ว]

How dose 2 springS work Each. Function. When 1.increase 2.decrease RPM.

[@musekidd]

I'm very excited to get to work on my 35 Classic, Your videos are brilliant, however, your website does not seem to be available? I was hoping to order parts from you. Are you still working?

[@MowerMan]

I no longer have the site. Garden hire spares are good

[@musekidd]

@@MowerMan Thanks Mower Man!

[@imprinttshirts1414]

how much do you charge a customer to switch there engine on to a new deck

[@jeffjeffjeff2]

Great video. Quick question: is there usually a tiny spring underneath the smiley face butterfly arm to help the governor arm/vane return to the open position?

[@MowerMan]

Not on this briggs engine

[@jeffjeffjeff2]

@@MowerMan interesting. I have a briggs engine with the pulsar carb and its idling horribly. Its had a new genuine diaphragm and gasket but to no avail. I've checked the intake manifold and breather pipe and the governer arm and springs are moving freely but it's not happy at all

[@ken4334]

I've got a victor 550 EX Briggs and Stratton.Easy start.Plastic carby.Its been chugging a lot and back firing every now and then.Can you help.Thank you.

[@MowerMan]

For the price of a new carb id swap it .

[@oldbonesgarage977]

Hey man i got given a sp550 mountfield 6hp came with one governor looks over stretched not letting the throttle body go back into place (butterfly staying open other wise) do you have any advice if it needs to springs and where they would be mounted cheers man

[@MowerMan]

Not sure I,ve had one in tbh hve a look on this website www.shouldersofshoreham.co.uk/mountfield-sp-550-spares-12-9686-00-2005

Paul, have watched lots and lots of your videos and they are amazing. I am going to try and repair my very first lawnmore........ but i have run into troble. It is a B&S 450 series 148cc - Qualcast 46sp and the belt cover underneath is broken (they hit a rock!!). I cant seem to find where to get the spare part for this. I have searched for 3 hours online and cant fid anything. Can you help please??

[@MowerMan]

take a look at the silver service ticket on the lawnmower. Use these details to find parts for the lawnmower

[@Pete.Ty1]

www.partmaster.co.uk have a Qualcast Lawnmower Belt Cover, don't know if it's the one you are trying to find. Good luck.

[@Jim-ie6uf]

Well explained

[@MowerMan]

Thanks Jim

[@tiagodinis5657]

Do you have any suggestions on how to price a lawnmower I fixed?

[@MowerMan]

Shrek the flying taco I like to at least double my money on everything I repair for profit

[@tiagodinis5657]

Thank you so much

[@NoMoreFnGames]

My lawnmower just idles on full revs

[@pawpaw4911]

You did connect the wire rod incorrectly by the way, the tiny short "L" goes into the hole not the hook end.

[@MowerMan]

David Randolph Thats not the way I've ever seen it done? Which part of the video please?

[@pawpaw4911]

@@MowerMan I have no excuse (brain fart I think) but I believe you were right. I apologize for my confusion.

[@SunofYork]

Instead of "this" and "that" and "here" and "there", the actual name of the object would be helpful... eg instead 'there", you could say "governor arm"

[@MowerMan]

Governor arm.
