Hi Deejay and Grumpy,

I've got a question regarding the Villiers 412 H2 engine that's fitted on the Supercut, I'm just wanting to get the engine up and going before I move house so I'm not getting in too deep with this baby until I fully strip it and restore her in my new workshop, but in the meantime I've pulled the carby off and cleaned it and boy was it covered in crud inside and out.

Now my predicament is the Governor lever and the correct positioning of it on the Crank Governor Shaft. There obviously is a procedure that I'm not aware of as to what one does with the shaft prior to tightening the clamping bolt as shown in the two photos. The shaft can be rotated around 360 degrees so there's a lot of scope there. Please excuse my ignorance but Villiers motors are totally new to me as my small engine experiences are basically with Briggs engines.

BTW the carby has been cleaned as has the filter, new oil to correct level and all attaching screws, nuts and bolts have been cleaned and refitted.

Looking forward to any suggestions
