I just did this post as an addition to a previous thread....thought it may be better as it's own post. Sorry for any confusion.
I was hoping for a bit of basic information. I have a Honda gc160 motor on a pressure washer and my governor arm does not move back to the idle position, it stays in full throttle position. When I push the control arm down to slow, the idle spring just goes slack. There seems to be nothing to push the governor arm back away from the carburetor. What is supposed to move the governor arm to the slow position...is the governor control arm spring supposed to move it (looks like it only is used to pull the arm to the fast position, but not meant to push it back), is the throttle valve on the carb supposed to push it back, or is there supposed to be tension on the governor shaft that rotates it back counter-clockwise?
When the governor arm is off the shaft (and the r-pin removed), the shaft will turn freely counterclock wise, and can be rotated back clockwise...but there is no tension on this shaft.
Thanks
