Question
I have a "TRAC VAC " grass catcher. Engine Model # 130262 Type 212801 Code 85110506  not sure of it's age. The problem is the goverrnor won't work when the engine is put under a load. I can operate it by hand and thats it. I have cleaned all moving parts and used WD40 on them. All links and springs seem to be hooked properly. The engine also has 3600/r-min @ 5 hp. I'm not sure if this is the orginal engine.

Answer
Is the governor spring connected...you will see the spring underneath/behind the fuel tank.

On the carb you will see a link that connects the governor rod to the carb link.  There is a screw that hold the pivot arm to the carb.  Remove the screw and make sure it moves freely...dirt sometimes causes this pivot joint to stick.
Let me know what you find.
