Engine overspeed

[Jmbas]

Ok so I blew a head gasket and replaced it without issue and made sure everything went back the way it came off. However now to keep it at normal rpm range I have to keep the throttle lever full down. It looks like the fuel valve on the carb is staying full open and I can't figure out how to adjust it anymore than I already. Is this a governor failure? Or maybe I am just going brain dead on this task. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you

Ok so figured it out after trouble shooting and messing with everything for about 20 hrs it was a 30 seconds fix. All I had to do was reset the governor arm and all was right. I broke mechanic 101 easiest solution first.

Glad you figured it out!
It's always the easiest things that screw you up...plenty of experience with that.

how does one go about resetting the governor? (do you mean re-calibrate)?
