Does anyone have a picture of where the governor and throtle sprin



hook? I did an overhaul and can't figure out where they go. I think I hav all but one right, but I get a slight speed hunt. The Model # is 303447 and the code # is 0378. The motor is on a 10000 watt generator with the controled speed. I have looked in books and talked to the local dealer with no help. I wish I would have taken a picture before hand.



Thanks for any help, Dav

i cant answer your question,but i do know there is procedure to set or calibrate the governor linkage so it doesnt hunt. you hold the gov arm so its against the gov gear and throttle wide open then lock in that position. i have been taking films of engines befor i tear them down with a cam corder.it helps me alot.lucas
