| I have a Toro Super Recycler # 20042. It has been running great for quite a while. All of a sudden today, I start it up and the engine runs about half the speed it used to. Nice and smooth, just slow.
About 2 months ago it had a full tune up (new plug, air filter, oil change, sharpened blade). Has fresh gas too. This carb has no screw adjustments on it, supposedly it is a fixed speed. I took off the plastic cover and I can rev the throttle manually. All the linkage seems free and clear of any debris. Is there something in the governor mechanism that can be adjusted or repaired? Thanks in advance! |

| When you are looking at the governor spring, it hooks onna front facing tab. Sometimes it gets bent back when pushing head on into shrubs etc. So the remedy is to bend it forward again until you hit the proper RPM. If the spring looks kinked though, it is best to replace it. |
