Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Honda ex650 throttle problems


Question
my throttle runs wide open and I have pretty much came to the conclusion it has to be internal. I have adjusted the governor arm and cleaned the carb multiple times and the same thing persists. What does right look like in one of these engines? is there a way to check to see if it is bad before I go in? thanks in advance!

Answer
How did you adjust the governor arm?  Did you see this video on You Tube?

You will have to split the engine to replace any of the internal governor parts.
