OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Honda Engines Honda GC160 governor help needed

Good day, thank you for letting me join this forum.

I have a Honda Gc160 engine on a pressure washer that I have had for a few years now. I bought it from a friend for cheap because it had an issue and he bought a new one. Basically, the pressure washer would work fine until you have it in bypass mode (wand trigger not depressed) then the rpms would shoot up a lot. My friend had rebuilt the carb awhile back and apparently did not reconnect the governor correctly.

I got around to trying to see what is going on and see that the governor arm was not attached to the governor arm shaft at all.



I searching for a diagram of how this is supposed to be attached, I saw reference to a governor arm nut, which I do not have nor see how it would attach. There was this pin that was on the shaft which I can only assume is supposed to retain the arm on the shaft?



Can someone help me with how the governor is supposed to be attached? Also is this slot in the shaft supposed to be facing this way?

I believe this is the serial # of the engine if needed.



I am going to order a new governor spring as the current one looks mangled. I believe this is the correct one if someone here can verify or tell me otherwise.

Thanks in advance for any help and let me know if need any other detail.
