will go (wide-open throttle) and hold in position.
3. Insert a long thin rod or tool into hole on cross shaft
and rotate shaft clockwise (viewed from end) as far
as it will turn, then torque nut to 7.3 N·m (65 in. lb.).
4. Ensure correct color springs are used. Connect
governor spring (with long looped end), to inner hole
on governor lever and control bracket.
Connect governed idle spring to outer governor lever
hole and control bracket. Long end of each spring
