Default 105 Throttle/Governor Setup

I recently replaced the governor spring on my 105 and I cannot get the throttle cable set right. It is the correct P/N ordered from Cub Cadet but it must be a little longer. When I pull the throttle handle to idle, the engine is still running fast. If I move the governor arm to the right with my finger it idles down and is fine. In the picture the spring is not in the factory position. This me trying different settings. I have set the governor arm's position per the manual. I cannot find anything about setting the throttle cable in relation to the spring and pivot plate in between them. Do I need to re-set the throttle cable? Thanks for your help.

My first question has to be: Why did you feel that the spring needed to be replaced?

Does it feel like the governor is actually working?

When the throttle is pulled all the way back there should be no tension on the spring.

1. When the engine was idling the spring was flopping around. At the time
I was ordering some other parts and felt it would be good to replace.
2. Yes, I believe the governor is working.
Do I need to adjust the throttle cable?
Thanks for your help.

Just loosen the throttle cable up in the clamp and re-position it so it works. The spring SHOULD "flop around" at idle. Now, you are going to have to reset the High-idle, no load too. You will need a tach to do this. Either a photo-tach, or one that works off of the ignition system. Some timing lights have this feature.

Thanks for the info. Can you point me to the section in the manual or another thread that might help. I've never used a tach light. I see the "Ignition Timing" on page 1-33. There doesn't seem to be all the info I need to do this. When you say High-idle, no load, are you talking about the carburator settings?
Thanks again.

High-idle, no-load is a governor setting. It will be in the governor section. Start with adjusting the governor "Initial settings" and go from there. Page 6.29-6.32. Read it all, then do it.

Here is an article on setting timing.

The article on the timing looks great! On the governor, I must be in the wrong manual. What I'm looking at only has 3 sections, no number 6. I'm looking at the 1x4-5 service manual. Help?

Thanks, disregard the last message. I hit resend. I'll check out the engine manual. That's what I've been missing!

J-Mech, while I'm getting ready to set the timing, would it be a good idea to change the points? I would bet they are the originals from 1969. If so, where would you suggest to buy them? I've bought everything in the past from the MTD/Cubcadet website. Thanks again.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
