Welcome to OCC. The 1811 is a great model and well worth whatever money you spend on it. The Mag 18 engine had governor problems so the first thing you need to do is remove the oil fill cap and look inside with a flashlight to make sure the governor is still in place, if you can see the gear through the hole you're good to go. There is a service bulletin on the repair to prevent the failure and it's a pretty easy fix. Start a thread in the CCC gt section and we'll be glad to help.
