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!

[@speeddemon_1369]

Same exact thing happened to me had bought a new carb for mine installed it and thought everything would be gravy started it ran high and wouldn't idle down now i know what to do

[@dellstudio10]

I've been watching repair videos for year's and can't believe I just discovered this channel a week ago. It's amazingly funny and educational! Keep up the good work. This channel is gonna take off like a rocket when more people discover it. It's unique!

[@wryanddry2266]

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.

[@cowboyjim90078]

This has"t to be the best skit you all have done yet.

[@lakjaswal7486]

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.

[@richardschmidt5313]

might be my favorite skit yet!

[@dougluoma6512]

That ending was hilarious! 😂

[@coolbluelights]

I always had issues with those Tecumseh governors. Thanks for the clear, easy to follow how-to!

[@ddra4126]

You are still the best!! And the funniest!! Thanks for posting!!

[@joebriggs9599]

That was a real good one funny and educational.

[@kenward9968]

I was just given a snowblower that had sitting around for some time. Your videos saved the day, thank you!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Our governor wasn't working well but we finally got him out of office.

[@brianwaiting7899]

Hopefully, the spring and metal wire isn't defective too!

[@seanmckay3392]

Me goes outside to check how far my govenor moves to make sure its not broken 🤣

[@rodneybrand8521]

These just keep getting better...lol...

[@Kevinthomaswatson]

Taryl, that was cowboy simple, thanks for the video as it helped me set the governor on my Tecumseh TVS115 57004c.

[@jonsmith3723]

Thanks, You wouldn't believe how timely that video was for me. Now I can face a blizzard with a smile.

[@nelsod76]

Thanks for the info how to set the governor.

[@jeffc6038]

Very helpful keep helping people like me about to go fix my surge

[@hartfordsignpost589]

Where can I get a set of those teeth? Nice video...clear instructions with some comedy. Love it! These guys could make a sitcom and make millions. It's better than anything out there today.

[@govtekrob467]

Thx , that’s why I’m governor wasn’t happy lol runs like a dream now

[@user-tz3yl7qo2e]

If you ever decide to do a video on governor issues with the VLV55 motors with that stupid plastic tank carbetrator on it, I would watch it 100 times. I got one now that is kicking my butt.

[@robertjeffery6100]

Thanks for the info on the Governor

[@brianbsilverado]

I practice dentistry and small engine repair funny stuff love these guys

[@TYMWLTL]

This guy makes more sense than most, if not all, of the DIY videos out there.

[@gunner49er]

Jack of all trades master of none

[@INTERNA9]

THANX again

[@beachbums2008]

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

[@mga555]

I replaced the carb on a Murray string mower and the linkage came apart. Your video was a great time saver. Thank you so much.

[@alienmagma]

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.

[@JW-ez1kt]

Did the same thing. This fixed it

[@chrisskon5067]

OMG, thank you for showing this. After 15 years I had a brain fart on my snowblower. Much thanks!!!

[@briggsdidnotstrapem7699]

i bought a old Snapper 1030 Tecumseh that does not run, this old snapper is made of steel, i change my oil, tuned it up, bought a new fuel line, bought a new carburator, degreased it, cleaned the fuel tank really really good, pulled the cord 1 time and runs good, reverse good, lots of air in the chute, will order afriction wheel and i think i have myself a snowthrower for the winter, fingers crossed, thanks Taryl your a good teacher.

[@racehemi4862]

This was the most helpful site I have ever been too. Fixed everything just like new.

[@akbaxb165]

Taryl, you're a wonderful teacher! Thank you very much for the video.

[@REF49]

Actually helped me fix my tiller. Had to watch it a second time after I quit laughing at the dental work.

[@user-tz3yl7qo2e]

[@walleyeye]

Greeting from Winnipeg Canada. Really good video Taryl!!! I’ve always dreaded the governor as I dont have a tach but this video makes it really easy. I’m still gonna get a tach though.

[@JeffreyStrader]

I have learned the hard way not to be smoking a fine cigar when Taryl starts up with his comedy skits....LOL

[@jamesmclean1431]

I just want to say thank you Taryl I love everyone on your videos I've learned so much from your channel maybe one day I can meet you but this video in particular I had a troublesome org Tecumseh HH60 on a ariens rocket tiller I got for free and the linkage for the engine was missing and from your videos I made my own and tune the governor in the thing starts first pull now keep all the awesome videos coming I learn so much from you

[@j1166240]

One of my favorite skits! Thanks for the tips on the snowblower too. My neighbor has that exact model should I ever need to help him fix it. Thanks!

[@XCRiders]

Taryl was the Best 10 seconds she ever had

[@stclairstclair]

Taryl, I'm a third generation mechanic from my grandfather in WW2, When I saw you conducting a symphony of small engines I subscribed, Id like to buy you a bourbon!

[@fiberrabit8229]

[@bigfranksworld]

Dude, you saved my bacon on this one! Thanks again!!!

[@pel3370]

Exactly the information I needed, working on an 8HP Tecumseh engine right now that runs too fast and I'm trying yo adjust the governor to slow it down, thanks Taryl and your videos are funny and very educational.

[@keithcommuneswithhorses1321]

LMAO, another great video. And we find out Taryl is quite a handyman too! Also THANK YOU TARYL for showing how to properly deal with the throttle and governator on a Tecumseh horizontal shaft engine, exactly the lesson I needed.

[@Neighborhoodgo2guy]

Well thought out guys!

[@IamDerick]

Thanks Taryl, just what I needed.

[@guyina4x499]

great video guys, thanks!

[@foot675]

What a great video, thanks for the instructions.

[@AC-qn4qv]

Good one guys !

[@randallcheek9308]

Awesome skits and skill taryl. Learned alot from u.

[@whommee]

lmao ! one of your best here,, great tip on the governor

[@kjell-richardlvdal373]

excactly what i was looking for, I upgrade an old Canadiana, have changed the two belt, and a aftermarket carburator, and cleaned the gastank and hose so no dirt come in carburator, your video explain it all , thanks for youtube

[@mikesenginesandadventures]

That was a good one, Taryl! 👍

[@ronsbeerreviewstools4361]

Thanks for posting this informative and entertaining video. Time for a cold beer !

[@pierrec2007]

Very good , funny and educational . Thank you so much Daryl !

[@jamestsmith4500]

The end skit was so funny !!!!

[@stephenandloriyoung5716]

Umm...how is this gonna work in Canada, where we don't have governors, we have Premiers? 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.

[@MrGoosePit]

LOL. Another good one Taryl. I liked Bob's cap. It says "Bob's Cap".

[@stevehysick2078]

I have a Tecmseh engine snow blower that I replaced the carb (bowl-less) after watching your videos. I can get it to start, but I need to keep pushing the primer bulb to keep it running. What should I check/adjust?

[@genebabitz7806]

Thank you for the info...first time seeing u guys...hollarious...!

[@crikeycrikeys9699]

I think that may have been the problem with my techumseh self propelled mower. It only seemed to run at half throttle even after the carb-u-traitor was cleaned. I think I screwed up the governor spring spinning the carb out on my impact drill. good to know!

[@MrJaydeep777]

Awesome explanation! Thank you so much! Subscribed!

[@stevenertle2876]

You're a good man Love you videos and your knowledge

[@matnanci]

Great video, very funny, great learning experience

[@russdavis1960]

W W W ...WHAT?? Taryl is leavin' Podunk and movin' ta Dogtown????

[@joebrown9621]

😂... funniest one i have watched 😁🤣👍👍

[@motoman5023]

Funny funny funny you guys are great. Working at a dealer for so many years i can relate to all your skits. Small engine repair is easy. Right?

[@knighthawk86855]

Now that was some funny stuff right there.... LMAO

[@brianwinfrey2699]

we need more swap shop!!!!!

[@gregsilva1472]

I have the same measure a minibike. What if I just only hooked up the car to a throttle and had the governor arm linkage disconnected?

[@kyote3272]

You guys got a good thing going and it's funny as shit

[@lewishawks2258]

Lol this is one of the best you done but poor old Jr is on his own lol

[@SpeedyJoe.]

That ending tho lmfao 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂

[@JW-ez1kt]

I think your skits are dumb but your knowledge and explanation got my governor fixed. I took the arm off to change my carburetor. Then it was reving to high cuz I’m stupid.. thanks for the help

[@bairfamilyfarm1336]

Who needs a phone camera when you have an assortment of different colored paint pens.

[@jonathanabeld2326]

Well I picked up a john deere 726 with a tecumseh h70 on it with the throttle control on the handle bars would this be roughly the same way to set the governor without running into rod through block territory

[@timpope1221]

Cant wait till they do a mower build off !

[@staceyhampton1595]

Whould the governor case surging of the engine because I replaced the carburetor with a new one and the ignition coil and still surging it start up great i can see the governor moving back and forth is it supposed to do that

[@csukosd]

Another classic!

[@YouRsTrulySavage]

Can you get a replacement governor spring for these motors I have it h60?
