The governor and the carb throttle should be linked.  Then the throttle should tighten a spring, usually attached to the governor arm, that the governor works against.  At idle setting the butterfly can close but as the throttle is increased the butterfly opens and is increasingly hard to close as the throttle is advanced and the spring tightens.

Should still do the adjustment I spoke of, linkage may be a little different with the new carb.  I generally do this adjustment whenever I have had a carb off.  This adjustment also compensates for linkage as it wears.  Just takes a couple of seconds.  Put a little finger pressure at the junction of the governor and the arm, loosen the bolt, tighten it again.

I probably have an HH60 or similar around.  If the above doesn’t help I can check and send a pic if you need.  The engine on my tiller should be about what you’re looking at.

Sorry Bill, but I believe I mis-spoke. I don't believe it's the governor linkage, I believe it's the throttle linkage, moving the throttle lever does not increase the RPM's at all, it stays at idle.  Manually moving the throttle tab on the carb itself will make it rev up.

To adjust the governor linkage, loosen the nut or small bolt that holds the governor arm to the shaft coming out of the engine block.  Hold both the carb link and the governor shaft at the junction of the adjustment in the far-open position.  Tighten the nut.

It’s really that simple.

Thanks for all the advice,does anyone have a schematic for the governor linkage for the engine, it's a Tecumseh Xtra Life Commercial Industrial HH60. I bought a new carburetor and it purs like a kitten, but I can't get it to high rev with the governor linkage not attached.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike,

If the breaks are at the mounting holes, and not at the carb body, put large flat washers over the flanges with some JB weld and then tighten down. The washers will help compress the flange and keep it from working loose. You may have to grind the washers down on one side to make them fit, but you’ll have a stronger attachment.

Thank you for all the replies to help. The parts snapped clean, so I thoroughly cleaned the 2 parts with acetone and put it back together with JB Weld. I'll use a light coating of RTV black to reinstall it after 48 hrs, and use light pressure, to re-attach it. Thank you Mark for your generous offer! I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi all,
I have a question about Troy Built tillers; I have a '70's-80's Troy
Bilt Horse tiller, well before they became MTD. I was moving it in high
gear, over some hard clay to a place I wanted to till. Well, it hit the
ground and took off like a bucking bronco. I started to go after it but
having had my share of injuries this year I just let it go . It bounced
and jumped all over the place, until it hit a tree, and cracked the
carburetor flange. The engine is a HH60 Tecumseh, and all I need to
repair it is a new carb. The problem is I cannot find one with the
plate, and tall screw that is riveted on to accept the vertical air
cleaner. Any  help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike M
