Honda clone problems

[Pinhead]

Hi guys Im new here and have a problem with my honda clone motor.Here goes,so after it sitting all winter got it going and it is stuck wide open.I have no idea why or what is going on for it to do so.I tried puting a return spring on it but was either to heavy or to light.Any one ran into this problem befor?

Is the governor still in place?

I never took it out but could it have broke off inside?

what i have seen happen here and there is when they sit the throttle assembly on the carb will gum up. the carbs sit naturally in a wide open position. When you fire it up, the governor takes it back down. Take your air cleaner off or just look and see where the throttle is on the carb and see if it is frozen stuck. I suspect it is.

not likely to break off inside from sitting.

I have looked in the carb and it is wide open.I can move it closed with my hand no problem.I did try spraying it cause thought it was gumed.Still ran wide open right into the tool box.Doh.Im really stumped on this one.

That being the case, something has gone wrong between the actual governor to the arm that pulls the throttle back. Maybe a spring fell of or something similar. With the engine running you should be able to move the throttle back to the closed position.

The rods and such between the governor and the actual throttle are just a few rods and some springs. I don't have one at the moment to take a picture to show you how they connect.

might work better if you posted some pictures of what yours looks like, someone may spot something in the picture.
also, what is the brand, size, age, etc ?

I dont have a camara right now but the motor is a power fist 6.5hp motor

Well never had luck with the motor yet but I do have a honda 5hp motor.This might be a dumb question but to take the governor off is it the same as a clone?
