Throttle control is a big thing on the internet now. Several videos shows how to disconnect the governor linkage and install a throttle control lever. They do this to get higher RPMs from the engine.
I have a Robin 9hp engine on a generator that was given to me and the governor shaft seems to be broken. I disconnected the governor linkage to the carb throttle and the governor shaft spins a full 360 on the engine. I figured the "L" shape shaft is now a straight shaft because the engine wants to run dangerously wide open.
Has anyone here done this to control the speed on an engine without a working governor?
I plan on opening the engine up this fall to see what the inside of the engine looks like to see what's broken and what I can fix. the little engine starts right up on the first or second pull. It's just uncontrollable now.
