Question
HOW DO I SET THE GOVERNOR ON HONDA GX 270

Answer
Hello Anthony:

>>The Following is an Instruction File I Made for Setting the Governor Arm Correctly. Any Input is Appreciated.  
>>If you Removed/Loosened the Governor Arm from the Governor Shaft or Put the Linkage in  a Bind when the Carburetor was Removed, then Reset the Governor.
>>**To Reset the Governor; Loosen the Governor Arm Bolt and Turn the Governor Shaft Clockwise Until it Stops.
>>Using the Governor Arm Hold the Carburetor to Full Throttle. Now with the Shaft Full Clockwise and the Governor Arm and Carburetor Held at Full Throttle, Tighten the Governor Arm Bolt.
>>If the Engine Still Runs Full Throttle, then Reverse the Rotation of the Governor Shaft, but Still Hold the Carburetor at Full Throttle with the Governor Arm.
>>**If it Still Runs at Full Throttle, then Check the Internal Governor.**
>>You can View a Breakdown/IPL of this Engine at this Site Addy, http://www.outdoordistributors.com/ and Select Click Here For The Parts Menu. Now Select H. Then Select "CLICK HERE" If You Don't Have Your Part Numbers We Have Illustrated Parts Lists For Most AYP Lawn Equipment Models! Model lookups will open in a new page.) In the New Window Enter your Model Numbers and Click "Search". Now Select your Model and Download the Breakdown for Online Viewing.
>>Since this is a Honda, you can Use this Site Addy; http://www.honda-engines-eu.com/en/welcome.html and Select "Service Information" from the Drop Down Menu of the Service Tab. Now Select "Shop Manual". Now Select your Engine Model Range. Now Select your Specific Engine Model and then Download the Shop Manual. The Shop Manual should have the Procedures for Checking and Setting the Timing on your Engine. If Not, then Send me the Engine Model Numbers, Please. With these I can Locate the Correct Manual and Better Assist you.
>>If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I Hope to be Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck
