I had all the tin out because the starter went out, I started the engine and didn't ave throttle control. I originally stopped it because I smelled oil. And I was able to throttle down, at that time I did not notice any running issues. Went to start again and the starter took a crap, it had been acting up latley. When I started the motor I heard the air coming from the hole and that's when I noticed it running high rpms, that's why I was thinking it was a pcv or something causing an air leak, again I don't have experience in lawn motors and didnt know about a govenor
I drained oil and there is no metal in the oil, the engine does run, just high idle, it doesn't make any noise. There is no hint of engine damage at this point.
I will start looking for a new engine, but in the mean time what will happen if I run it like it is?
