Ok that makes sense. So when I go to test the engine is it safe to say that if I take the wire out of the control plate and touch it against an earth it will cut the motor out. But having it the way it is at the moment requires a arch effectively? Sorry if I sound new at this. I haven't had much to do with Briggs motors. So far is this looking reasonably ok? I have adjuste the governor arm the way you said earlier.
Regards
Ps. Sorry it's dragging on a bit I haven't had much of a chance to do anything on it lately. Typical interruptions
