My 2135 with the z134 developed a problem with the governor. It first started out with the engine surging rapidly at full throttle it would almost die out then catch itself. I managed to limp it back to the barn to start troubleshooting it. I made sure the fuel system as all good, cleaned, and adjusted the carb some, got it to idle with the throttle lever in the idle position. Now that it idles when you give it a little throttle (the throttle linkage has notches to hold the throttle) to the second notch the engine rpms goes faster than the maximum rpm it used to, and stays there (no action from the governor). Put the throttle lever back to idle it idles great, then I went from idle to full throttle, the engine rpms goes past where it normally was, but the governor brings it back down to the rpms it used to run after the governor makes it surge 3 or 4 times. I tried every different kind of way to adjust the governor I could, but however its set it doesn't change how it acts now. Now I only have idle/full throttle, and no kind of throttle in between, I'm all out of ideas.
