HOW TO ADJUST THE SPEED GOVERNOR on your SNOWBLOWER. This video is for the TECUMSEH ENGINE. **Ideal RPMS for this engine at full throttle is 3500-3600**
thank you. because of your videos i could save my old yard man. my service station wasnt able to do the job properly but because of you i could do it myself. they told me the price for the hours of the mecanics were too expensive an it would be better to buy a new one. i mean they were right, it was a lot of work, but i have time (but no money ;)) and thanks too you i could fix all problems by myself. Greetings from Austria

I wanted to thank you. Came back from a mechanic and I needed more throttle. My snow would throw 5 feet and engine would die out and needed multiple manual restarts. Turned in throttle mechanism screw one turn. Snow throws 12 feet, not once did it stall, more than enough power. You made cleaning out from snow a pleasure. Thanks for also teaching me a lot about carb adjustments and throttle and governor adjustments. It was a mystery art before you explained it, now it's science. Real cool. I subscribed.

I must thank you for your very informative videos. I purchased a year old 8 ½ HP Yard Works for my father two years ago but didn’t really check it out. This year I noticed the snow blower was over revving and shaking its self to pieces. With advice from my brother in-law to check your videos, I was able to get the snow blower running correctly. Thank you again. Now I have a new reference for all of my small engines.

My snow blower was running like crap so I had a friend take the carb off and take it to a friend of his and the guy took it all apart and cleaned it good. After putting it back on the snow blower the engine would race. Well my friend got sick so he hasn't been able to fix it. I found your video and now it runs like a charm! I just have to adjust the high throttle screw at the throttle handle to let the rpms come up just a little bit more. Thanks!

Thanks for the video ! A few years ago I had my snow blower serviced and it just seemed like it never ran well. The small engine repair man said he worked on it for a while and got it as best he could. This company has been in business for 30 + years and yet they still didn't make it run right. It always seemed to idle slow. I just followed your tip on adjusting the screw on the throttle lever and it ran perfectly!

Donyboy73: Just wanted to thank your for your excellent videos. When I started my Ariens Snow Blower this morning it was racing like crazy. NO idea why this would have occurred. I have never done anything to the carb, and it was running fine yesterday. Followed you instructions and was able to fix the problem by adjusting the governor arm. Motor ran great after that, but the unit would only throw snow a few feet and got bogged down in high drifts. Went back to KZitem and found your video on adjusting and replacing the V belt. Thanks to your excellent video the hardest part was finding the right belt. - I did find a cotter pin puller to be very useful in getting the belt aligned on the wheel. Very grateful for your help.

I got mine running great today. FYI, the length of the longer rod (the one from the governor to the throttle control) is about 6.5 inches and the shorter one (the one from the governor to the carb throttle) is about 4.25 inches. Thanks for the informational video. Also, the position of the rods seems to be important. I had the longer rod in the wrong hole. I used the hole that's in your video.

I am rather savvy with small engines because i am a tinkerer and a RC nitro tunnel hall boat racer. Some of the time there is a learning curve (BOOM) just once. With all the snow we have had here in ohio a snow blower is a must. I given the task to fix all of my fathers equipment that had been neglected for a few or 8 years. To save my back no curve allowed. Brother you rock, Awesome video. The beast is back, she is running like a champ kicking A and throwing snow. Thanks!

I can take a 3.5cc k&B pro outboard nitro rc motor and run it at 60 on the water. I just really cant afford the learning curve any more. I dont have the money i used to lol. Thanks again. oh when i was done with the mtd blower i did a whole city block so the kids didn't have to walk in the street. I had to play with it lol.

Two things need to be addressed in this video. 1. What is the down position for the throttle? Off of idle? 2. You mention where the governor arm should be when tightening the screw but you do not indicate where the piece the governor arm connects to should be? That piece coming out of the engine block moves about 15 degrees in either direction and has a major impact on if this works or not. Thanks for all your videos!

New carb (non-adjustable) and some 1/4" internal fuel line had my problem child (Ranch King w/ 8hp Tecumseh) purring like a kitten. Then I tried fine tuning and screwed it all up! Stalls at full throttle. Tried various adjustment on high and low throttle speed screws. Governor hasn't been touched at all. Love your channel!! Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Great tutorial! You explains things very well. I have a problem that is a related to the throttle lever, but is a bit different. I have a 1999 Ariens model 924104-ST1028 Sno-Thro with a Tecumseh model HMSK100 159391W emgine on it. I can raise the throttle lever & increase the rpms, but as I use the snow blower the lever drops & the rpms shortly drop off. So, I have to tie off the throttle leave in the max up position while snow blowing, otherwise the rpms drop off too much to blow snow well. I thought the problem might be the Tecumseh 34663 Spring as you showed in the video above. When I checked it out, it looks intact, in one piece, plus it does work when increasing the rpms. So, what could be the cause of losing the rpms? Sure would appreciate some help. I would prefer not to have to buy the entire Control Bracket Assembly P/N 34677. Looking for a less expensive fix if one is available.
