Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): B&S 5hp engine, throttle shaft, appropriate boxes


Question
I know you have probably been asked this question numerous times so I apologize in advance. I have a Briggs 5HP engine on a Craftsman tiller. I bought it off a neighbor who had attempted to rebuild the carburetor. I soaked the carb in cleaner and put a rebuild kit in it. My problem now is how to hook up all the linkeage. I haven't a clue, don't have access to any manuals, and any exploded drawings that I can find don't show enough detail for me to do it correctly. The engine model # is 130202-3129-01. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

Answer
Hello Mike:

**The Throttle Cable Attaches to the Throttle Control Bracket. The Cable Moves a Slide that Moves a Pivot. The Pivot has the Spring  Attached to it and the Other End of this Spring Attaches to the Governor Arm. The Solid Link Connects to the Governor Arm and goes to the Throttle Shaft on the Carburetor.  When the Throttle Cable is Moved it Moves the Pivot and the Pivot Pulls the Spring. The Spring Pulls the Governor Arm and the Governor Arm Moves the Throttle Shaft. Usually the Spring is in the Lower Hole in the Governor Arm and the Solid Link is in the Top Hole of the Governor Arm.**
