I made a mistake on the D14 and now it's vexing me. I took the carb off back in 2009 and at that time, I didn't take photos of everything, I just "knew" I would remember. The D14 governor/carb springs are different than the D10/D12 and my D15 is a Diesel, and doesn't use the same set up. There are two springs rather than the single spring that hooks to the throttle arm for the carb butterfly on the other machines. With the others, the spring clips into a hole in the rod that connects to the carburetor and clips over one of the manifold studs. Not so with the D14, there are two and my memory is that they interact in some manner, like one spring connects to the other and the rod even goes through the larger spring. The parts manual doesn't shed any light on how they connect though clearly, one of them still will connect in a manner similar to the D10/D12, but the larger one doesn't.
If any of you have a D14 or possibly and early D15 gas, could you provide a photo or description of how these connect? It was dumb to ignore photographing something so non-intuitive to a 10 year old memory. What I might end up having to do, is hook it up like the D10/12 and see if it works. But the other spring is much stronger.
