K-161 Governor assembly
 

Need help with the spring placement for the governor arm on a K-161. I can't seem on find a picture of it. Thanks in advance.

I'm grabbing lunch. I happen to be overhauling one today. I'll post a pic when I get back.

Here's a picture from online.

Here you go:

The pictures were great an I was able to get it hooked up correctly. My next issue is getting it to respond to the throttle cable in a consistent manner. It starts an idols great. As you increase the throttle it does nothing until almost at the full open and then wants to run at a high RPM. When you idle it down the governor arm is not going back to idle. You can manually push it to idle without any trouble.

Or maybe the trottle cable broke an I didn't realize it. Lol.

You have to adjust the governor. Did you do that? Sounds like you didn't. It's in the service manual how to do that. Do you have a copy of the manual?

I do have the manual and was reading up on that to do next. I have been extremely lucky over the years and never had engine issues to deal with. Although this is a very minor issue it is the first Original I have ever bought with the intentions of keeping and wanting to use it. I will attempt the governor adjustments today.

It is a 1963, second owner, and came with the original owners manual. It was bought with lights, fenders, mower deck, blade, and #1 cart. All are in very good condition. I have always been a fan of the WF hydros but really thought the original's are the best looking. I'll post some pictures on the site later today.
