Good work NormK, totally agree with you. Any tips for the G3 carbs, I haven�t worked on them much and now I have ended up with quite a few mowers with these fitted. They seem to have just an idle or run response not much in between.
The governor spring tension is adjustable on these, and does affect part throttle response somewhat, as well as idle and full throttle speeds.
First of all, check that the butterfly moves smoothly through its full range, when the governor flag is moved back and forth. Then check that the flag is correctly adjusted - it should be at 90� to the carby bore with the butterfly closed, with the flag on the same side as the fuel inlet. It's not unknown for the plastic gears that link these parts to slip a few teeth.
If these items are OK, try adjusting the governor spring tension a few clicks at a time, by turning the seating ring ['tension applicator'] at the lower end of the governor spring. There should be a spring clip locking the ring to the main 'throttle connector', and this has to be removed to adjust the spring.
