Question
Hi John,
we were wondering where the governor is on this motor?  Also how to adjust it?  Please help.

Answer
Hello Melissa:

You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower/Engine at this Site Addy, http://hayward.arinet.com/scripts/EmpartISAPI.dll?MF&app=ASP&lang=EN&TF=Mainfram... and Select the Catalog American Honda. The Governor is Internal. The Governor Shaft and Governor Arm Connect the Carburetor to the Internal Linkage Using the Solid Linkage and The Governor Spring Determines How Fast the Engine Runs. The Shorter/Stronger the Spring the Faster the Engine Runs. The Internal Governor Tries to Keep the Engine at Idle and the Spring Forces the Engine to Increase Speed. The Spring and Internal Governor Together Regulate the Engine Speed. To Adjust; 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. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully

John
