HR214 -- Governor Issues?

macword
13 years ago

I recently replaced the gasket between the engine block and the oil pan on my HR214 SX. It had been leaking oil profusely, and dumping it down on the blade clutch.

In reassembly, I was forced to deal with the governor arm shaft, and the little 'top hat' looking piece that fits on the shaft. Now I'm wondering if something is amiss inside.

When I start the mower, the engine goes into a full throttle rev. I have to manually push the arm forward to get it to slow down.

Any advice from someone who has taken one of these apart before?

The shop manual doesn't help a lot in explaining how things go.
