Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Honda EX100 Govenor setup, full throtle, honda ex1000

Question
I have a Honda EX1000 generator, I removed the carb for cleaning and also the govenor arm and springs. I cannot figure out how the springs attach and how the Gov arm goes back on. I tried several times but the engine just revs. How do you set the Govenor/Arm. The spring seems to pull it to full throtle? Otherwise she runs great

Answer
Hello Clemet:

1- Get the Springs and Linkage Right First. I have been Trying to Get Pictures of the Linkage Set Up so I could Send them to Questioners and have Yet to Purchase a Camera that will Take Good Pictures that Show the Hookup in Detail. After 4 Cameras, Im Still Trying. LOL. However, **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.**  2- If you Removed the Governor Arm to Remove the Carburetor, 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.** If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
