Governor issue - B&S 18.5hp twin
I recently acquired a Cub Cadet 1610 with a 18.5 HP B&S twin stuffed in there. Apparently came from a Huskee. Engine is a model 42A707 type 123801 It is not completely connected up and I don't think it ever ran in this tractor.
My problem (so far) is with the governor. It came with the throttle connected direct to the carb. There is a governor lever from the engine above the exhaust but it is not connected up. The governor mechanism was taken off but I have it, maybe missing springs and linkages. I can see lugs on engine where it is supposed to mount up.
So my questions are 1) do I really need the governor to be connected, and 2) how is it supposed to be connected up. A photo or parts diagram would be ideal. Any help would be appreciated.
