Experience
Past/Present clients I have worked on small air/water cooled engines for 34 Years. I performed warranty work for Lowes of Wilson and other retailers in the area. I Own a Yard Maintenance and Certified Small Engine Repair Service Center.
Question The engine revs to max when started. The throttle lever moves the butterfly valve but it does not change the rpm. I can manually move the governor likage to get it to throttle down, but can' get it to do it on its own correctly.

Answer Hello Gary:
You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower at this Site Addy, http://hayward.arinet.com/scripts/EmpartISAPI.dll?MF&app=ASP&lang=EN&TF=Mainfram... and Select the Catalog American Honda. Then Select Engine. Then Scoll Down to your Engine Model and Select it. The Select the Oil Pan File. Breakdown Box # 9 Shows the Governor Components. From your Description, it Sounds like the Internal Governor has Came Apart or the Governor Arm Has Slipped on the Governor Shaft. Has the Bolt that Hold the Governor Arm to the Shaft Been Loosened? Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.
