How To Set or Adjust the Governor on a Honda Engine

[@Beemernow]

Just wanted you to know, 5yrs later, and you're still doing God's work, thank you!!

[@samwhite203]

Steve you are a legend. I'm fixing my 5th honda generator now and had absolutely no experience with these things before I started watching your videos. You have taught me so much. I hope I can pass on the knowledge you have taught me . Brilliant channel.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Glad to help

[@mikegalvin4655]

Hi Steve what is the max rpm with or without load thank u from Mtl

[@daveh1081]

Jeez Steve....I fell fowl of that governor on my 20 year old Honda lawnmower engine! I thought I was gonna grenade the thing.....I shut it off and it's still running two years later! I can't get enough of your "pearls of wisdom" bruv! A big thumbs up from the United Kingdom!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Thank you Dave....

[@WarriorForLight]

Steve, you just made me look like a hero in front of my wife here trying to figure out why the rototiller was revving so high. I agree with Sam here - I’ve learned so much from your great straight forward vids. Less head scratching and more time getting stuff done (meaning more time drink a beer or two at the end of the day). You rock, man. Thanks for what you do for us all.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on Jon! You're Welcome...

[@gforcecache]

You saved me. Thank you. I don't know much about small engines. I replaced my carb but the engine was racing. I suspected maybe the governor, but didn't have a clue about them. I followed your instructions (minus the beer) and it is running like a top.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Haha, who needs a governor when you've got my videos? Just kidding, governors are pretty important. I'm glad my instructions helped you out, even without the beer! Cheers to a smooth-running engine!

[@doyleredwine1683]

Just ran across your channel yesterday while working on a carb on my pressure washer. I have already watched 5 more of your vids. Great vids. Many thanks!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Welcome aboard!

[@mikegalvin4655]

Thank u Steve for this video my gc 190 has a no throttle rod I use my power washer to clean my pool liner I did tun the governor to the right I must use for 30 mins of so that thing was screaming when I was releasing the gun it was showing like 5000 rpm .Yesterday I did remove the gas thank and tun the governor on the left see what happen .Am shure I was close the burn the engine ..😉

[@stevetrussell3324]

Thank you Steve, this was the only place I found that helped me with the governor issue with my pressure washer. Went to full throttle after carb cleaning and I couldn't understand why. Made this adjustment thinking there's no this is going to make any difference, but alas, runs like new!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

You're Welcome...

[@vicenteramirez1570]

Steve i am a home depot tool tech and one of our compactors was revving unreasonably high. Took me forever until i saw you adjusted it with the throttle pulled all the the way. Thanks!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

You're Welcome...

[@abelpagal8152]

Thanks Steve!! Your videos are always very clear and helpful. It helps me alot on my own small engines. Thanks from the Pacific Islands😀

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Great to hear!

[@dudeson3]

Got a screaming GC160 today and wanted to double check the governor arm position because high RPM for me has always been either a spring binding or a linkage issue. Didn't find either so I adjusted the governor as you showed and it brought the engine back to spec! Thanks again!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

You're Welcome...

[@willkendallpro]

This is the only useful video I've been able to find on this subject (governor adjustment). Thanks for the great video.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

You're welcome!

[@kyleburney6059]

Hey Steve this is Kyle burning down in Mountain Grove Missouri and I just really want you to know how much I appreciate your videos on how to tune up the small engines I’ve got a pressure washer With a 190 Honda on it that I was going to raise the RPMs up a little bit so perfect video I really trust you with all of your good advice man buy you a beer anytime brother thanks

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on buddy! Thank You...

[@jerrybowen1635]

Steve, The Man, the Myth, The Legend!! Was having problems with my GC160 screaming and came in to see if you tackled this problem. Sure enough you did, and I did what you showed and now I'm back in business! If you ever come down to North Florida let me take you out for a few cold ones. Sounds good, eh? Thanks!!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on Buddy!

[@lewvan743]

Steve! just wanted to let you know your awesome and so are your videos. watched a lot of mechanical videos and yours are the best. thanks for helping me set my gov on my gc190 after i changed the carb. The internet diyer's owe you!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Thank You...and You're Welcome...

[@benchan5854]

thank you for this video. Saved me from dumping a Honda HS521 which has a gx140 engine. Literally took 5 mins and it ran properly.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Great to hear!

[@johnanthony2545]

Steve is my go to guy for small engines. Wish I could have had him to watch 40 years ago lol would have saved me so many head aches.

[@RuiSilvaPT]

I just restored a Honda GK200 and couldn't find any info on this, had to tune it by logic, and this was exactly what I did. Awesome video as always! Cheers from Portugal!

[@RuiSilvaPT]

What is your opinion about the Honda GX390 and Loncin G420? I want to buy a wood chipper and I'm leaning towards the Loncin, however, I have a Honda GK200 that has been with me for more than 20 years. Please share your opinion about this! All the best to you!

[@dwstrummy1537]

I enjoy your vids and I learn from them - I like your clarity. I grew up in central IL and we had a PBR brewery there. Everyone considered it swill, but here we are now - it's become the bomb - who wooulda thought? With all the selections available I seldom drink it now, but I like it fine and it tastes like home somehow.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on

[@oubesto]

Steve, great video! How do you adjust governor if your engine does NOT have a throttle control?

[@GoldVP...]

Bob's my aunt lol. Pabst cheers. Seen you enjoyed it 2yrs ago, and I just saw this now. Great video!!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Classic

[@kurtgavino9575]

Fixed my generator, installed it with new carbuerator but engine is racing in high revolution resulting in high rpm and uncontrollable speed, luckily I see this video and Voila! It worked, special thanks to you, drink a can of soda after repairing my generator haha.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Nice work!

[@Dogs12370]

Question ⁉️ my prusher washer runs when im holding the trigger on the gun down it runs perfectly. But when i let go it cuts off any advice because im really confused

[@CookiePepper]

This is exactly what Honda Shop Manual says and very easy if you know how to. Torque spec of the governor nut is 10 Nm btw.

[@connorssmallengines6663]

Thanks Steve, I had a Honda snowblower that was racing up to 5800 rpm! Now it works good

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Great to hear!

[@paulinswfl8218]

Just worked for me. Mine was set totally backwards to the counterclockwise stop. Thanks.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

You're welcome!

[@TheDddell]

Thanks steve...experience from a professional. Better than all the reading i have done to find the right answer.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

You're very welcome

[@johnaldrich2074]

Thanks to this video, I got a GCV 160 powered pressure washer running properly where it's not racing. It has a bit of a hunting (surging) problem but it runs better now. And it's pretty much brand new.

[@SteveSnowman]

Geez, and I thought the small rotational movement of the Gov was just "Slop". Thanks for that Small but Huge Detail. I owe ya a beer and BTW, my name is Steve too.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

You're Welcome...

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Right on.. Truly a Blue Ribbon Tip... or is that a sip? Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and best to you and yours.

[@carlodonnell146]

do I need the PBR too? funny, yes you taught me something because I had no idea what the governor is for in the first place. I have a Landa pressure cleaner with a gx200 honda, and I just replaced the carburetor, but I did not adjust the governor. I don't know if it is necessary?

[@MJ-qt4dm]

Tx Steve. Between this governor adjustment and your video on throttle adjustment I'm ready to take my walk behind to Mosport this weekend!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

You're Welcome...

[@MrRmh3481]

Steve, does the governor mechanism fail on the inside of the case very often? Ive got one that just wont adjust, it wants to race no matter where set? Thank you.

[@billwilliams5963]

If it wasn’t for your tips, this one included, i would have a big repair bill. The governor, the chain saw brake reset and a few others have made my life in the the boondocks much easier. Thanks a lot. If i could ever figure out how those pre-bent carburetor linkages go on i would consider my enlightenment complete.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on Bill...

[@robertkard3195]

This was very helpful, as my Honda GC 190-powered pressure washer suddenly wanted to go to maximum RPM and this adjustment solved the problem.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on

[@brennanmartini2819]

Does the mega shot Honda have the same problem?

[@ncimson5318]

Tried doing it ended up getting drunk before I got it to rev at around 3200 lol. Always a great tutorial from this guy, 2 thumbs up

[@jimmysrandomness]

Anpther well explained video..keep them coming :-)...Question...When i adjust the govenor and tighten the bolt, my buterfly wont return and if i loosen the nut a little ,than my buterfly returns but if i start the motor than the rp its over the roof..(btw im ajusting without a tachometer because at this moment a dont have one) and if i tighten the nut so that my buterfly stays on the correct position , then i can't control my speed, and even i a turn down the mower the buterfly stays in the same postion instead of returning....any suggestions ?

[@SteveSnowman]

That worked Steve. You’re a Rock Star. Thanks.

[@jesusdrummer21]

April 1st 2022. OK did the governer bar and adjusted that know with pliers on the Troy bilt 130 I got it moved a 1/16 of a turn. Then did the governer arm bend to rev it up to 3000 rpm. I'm a idiot to this stuff. But did it with patience . I put a cleaned carb back on and it was revving at least 3500 rpm.. anyways Steve help and patience it's done...and it just started raining here in North Seattle.

[@TheGregWallace]

Question.......What do think about the honda GX630 horizontal shaft engines that are on the northerntool north star 13k portable generators ?

[@snakeplissken8620]

Steve you are great! And you don't waste anybody's time with a lot of blah, blah, blah... This is your calling. Also like your beer choices.

Thank you for this video I didn't know the governor even mattered if it was adjusted, this video might keep me from blowing my engine apart, thank you.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Very welcome

[@stewartrood3633]

Brilliant I can try this on my Honda 536 I guess the procedure will be the same. Watched one of your other videos saying don't touch the governor but too late I already had and go into a right mess.

Thanks Steve!!! Saved the day. Cheers from the land of OZ.🤙

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Thank You...

[@barbara4124]

Thanks Steve!! I had replaced the carburetor on my Honda HS520 snowblower and when I started the engine it was revving at an astronomically high rpm. I spent a weekend trying to figure out what I screwed up before I googled your solution. 5 mins later it was purring like a kitten.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on! You're Welcome...

[@walkertongdee]

I have several honda GXx series engines.. The GX 390 gov seems to be cutting out too soon or perhaps I need to adj that spring you show on other engines. I don't want to over-rev but I do want to operate at the top power curve hp. under load It's a mud motor long tail set up. Since this is a very common motor series and the gov. set up seems the same for the whole series is it too much to ask for a video on how to set the gov and speed to achieve max hp under load? You could probably borrow one they are very common. Lots of people want to know this on youtube lthey want to go faster safely. thanks, I just subbed.

[@jasonmasters9547]

Hey Steve I need your help brother....I just rebuilt a gc160 and everything is how it's supposed to be but its got really high rpms. I can adjust the governor EXACTLY how your supposed to and it does nothing to help. It feels like I need to be able to turn the governor shaft more but it stops

[@jake33284]

This video helped a lot. Thanks so much

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

You're welcome!

[@mxer340nitsch4]

Hey Steve, thx for the video but do you have one for the GX120? Mine revs to the moon and before she blows upon I had to shut it down and put a zap strap on it to hold it in a lower revving rpm.,

[@adventuremanintheclouds8968]

Mine will barely throttle up. It was doing well earlier today, not it sounds like the RPMs only go up like 50 rpms. You can barely notice a difference and I think it's causing low performance in the wand PSI. Any tips?

[@gfutube1]

Hope this works for my surging problem Steve Thanks

[@michellebuonamici7690]

You are the best! My dad taught me a lot about small engines, but far from everything. Then he went and died. Stupid Alzheimers! You have a gift to teach without being too technical or boring. Aaaannndd you are easy on the eyes. Maybe next video in a tank top? Just messing with you. Thanks so much. P.S. Natural born woman writing this.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Thank You...and You're Welcome...

[@mrallen3725]

Very late to video but I suppose the opposite is applicable. To increase rpms. I want to get a little more out of my go kart but don’t wanna go full delete. Any thoughts?

[@Dusty3900]

Got a 190 brand new on pressure washer...carb hunting always and burning fuel...what ya think?

[@chrisangell5241]

Hey Steve my GC190 doesn’t have throttle control and I have to be able to control rpms. Can I order a throttle control assembly for a model of the gc190 that does?

[@JuanDiaz-uj7wg]

Appreciate it finna make my motorized bicycle go a little faster

[@Crustyswede1]

My Briggs 3hp mower will surge in rpms while mowing. When you stop the forward motion and pull to backup. It’s odd and has done periodically but last time it was most of the mowing job. I’ll give a blow out and check tank for some water or see if gas line in tank has a crack. It’s probably not a big deal but if you have a suggestion, great. Thx

[@geraldbasford6713]

greetings from the Napa Valley Calf. You really know your stuff. I do small engine repair basically on4 cycl only now. Might get back into 2 cycle or 4 mix later. What is interesting is the disinformation out there. I did see the dude telling you to adjust rpm by the shaft adjust in increments. I know your videos are accurate and right on. You have no idea how helpful you have been to me in some of the problems you help me with. Thanks Steve

[@lestergillis8171]

@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon What kind of rpm range should one expect to see once the govornator is set on those ? "Just ask'in for a friend".

[@lukesweeney540]

Hey Steve great video with simple instructions! Unfortunately I followed them exactly and my engine revved to the moon… I have the same exact engine for my pressure washer and my solution was to tighten down the lever all the way to the LEFT and the shaft all the way clockwise, this solved my over revving issue but what I did is opposite of your instructions, any suggestions would be much appreciated!

[@heavysnow8616]

Usually you rotate the governor shaft in the same direction you push the governor lever. In this video Steve pushed the governor lever to the right to ensure no slop in the linkages in the WOT position. He then turned the governor shaft clockwise. When you are done you should be able to push the linkage and there should be no binding, you will feel spring resistance. If your binding, adjust the shaft in the opposite direction. Always check your manual for what your working on. If you get it wrong the engine will race-shut it down immediately!!!

[@lukesweeney540]

I had to turn my governor shaft all the way clockwise and my lever all the way to the left then tightened it to get it running semi properly… almost seems backwards to me, any advice?

[@AB-C1]

Great video steve, I have a question may sound silly as I know this can't be done on the brigs and Stratton without modifications to the internals for the oil to get around the engine, but can the Honda engines with OHV be run on their side or horizontal as I see the engine on this pressure washer I assume it is? Looks like the same engine in have that's off a Honda lawnmower! Don't have the lawnmower I bought the engine with a second one as they were with the parts off the lawnmower like blade and drive, but rest had rusted out! So anyway I'm thinking can this engine be turned on its side and fitted to a cheap power washer so I have a Honda pressure washer basically!!?? Or even a Rotivator with a side mount or horizontal mount!? I've a ton of mowers I was going to sell but missed the second year window due to health issues but I've no rotavator to sort my garden with a bad back and I've no pressure washer and as I can't work following a spine op, so I'm skint and I was hoping I could pick up a cheap pressure washer and Rotavator and fit the 2 X Honda engines I have, whether they be horizontal or vertical position on the rotavator and /or pressure washer if I say pick one up that engine not working, or perhaps even a cheap new one and swap it for teh Honda engine, given the engine looks to be the same!!?? If I can do that, I can use em and possibly even sell em on after at a profit given they Honda or at least break even hopefully so I don't lose money and can sort my back garden out!? (Obviously I'm aware I'd probably have to sort the carb position 90degrees if it's gravity fed!) But more concerned 1 will it fit no modifications to mounts, 2. Will it run in either position and 3. Importantly, get oil supply round engine, so it doesn't blow up and seize!! 4. Any other advice you have being the small engine wizard that you are Steve! Lol.. Also both engines are slightly different one is a 5.5hp or 5hp can't remember looks like this one! and other one slightly smaller but both OHV Hondas just one slightly more powerful look longer and bigger on the red cover if you know what I mean.. might be just older version perhaps might be one off an Izzy and one off a bigger mower perhaps?? Thanks for any advice you can offer!! Big fan here in London England! Cheers! 👍💪😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Ps. Good beer! 👍😁😎

I’m a case and 1/2 through my PBR stockpile. Apparently it has effected my vision and overall “judgement” (maybe) because my Honda Power Washer is running about 15,000RPM. Is that bad?

I have a gc190 pressure washer. It starts but chuggs and then stalls. Saw your video and will test it out and see how it goes

[@Worthrhetime]

It’s not getting my Governor set straight as much a my Senator.... thx again for another great video

[@andrewchurchley6779]

Brilliant Steve, thanks a million. I applied your method to a Homelite HL454SP mower which had a screaming over-revving problem, over here in the U.K. Amazingly, it did not cure it. But you had given me the confidence that I'd set the lever arm correctly. It made me look elsewhere. Eventually I spotted that a sharp edge of the control arm was fouling the PVC sheath of the throttle/choke control cable. I used a cable tie to re-route this cable well clear. Great, docile running again. But I could not have done it without you. The manual was useless. This problem makes me think. On some machines, cables flap about all over the place and doubtless can cause a variety of problems when they foul controls. Have you found that? And do owners try to tie them down, provoking further trouble? I imagine many mowers have hit the garbage dump because of this. Is there scope for a KZbin video on taming the control cable snakes?

[@MrDarrinSmith]

Steve my honda gc190 don't have a throttle lever, it seems to be all automatic. It runs fine but for this project i want it to run lower rpms. I wish it had a throttle lever. Is there any way to change the automatic setup to run lower rpms??
