The first time I started my 8 hp Simplicity it ran at a very high rpm. I started blowing snow and the load on the engine brought the rpm down. The engine stopped after about thirty yards. The problem was the gas cap wasn't venting and I would run out of gas. I brought the cap into the house today and I am expecting that melting the ice that might be in it will fix that problem. Is the high rpm a separate problem? Will only a carburetor removable and cleaning fix that? It isn't running smooth either. Are both of these problems in the carburetor or are both problem associated with a problem with the governor? If the problem is with one, I would rather not mess with the other.
