I had to remove the carberater to replace a leaky oil gasket where the oil sending unit is located ! The oil leak is now fixed but now my govener setting is all messed up , I tried several different settings but still can't get it right , Does anyone know how to set the govener setting on these mowers , please let me know cause i'm really stumped , i guess it's just real picky on where it should be set ! Please Help Me ! thanks

well since i got no responce from anyone about the trouble i was having with the govener setting i ended up taking it to Power Mowers in kendal by the falls on US1 , & they said it was because i had a dirty carberator , so i asked them to do whatever it needed to run right again , they rebuilt the carb. with a carb. kit & relace the carb. & intake gaskets , they said it was ready for bussiness , when i went to mow my 1st yard i noticed a problem ! the RPM was reading only 3490 & i know it should be running at 3750 with no load , so i adjusted the throttle cable to get to 3750 but under a load the RPM's drop more than usuall , it goes to about 3400 when before i had any trouble with this machine it would run at 3650-3700 with a load , & i think it's still the govener setting causing this , does anyone know how to set this thing ? please let me know or tell me where i can take it do do so ! THANX
