I have a sears craftsman model # 247.883550 w/ Tecumseh 4cycle engine, Engine model # LH1955sp aprox 2 yrs old. Unfortunately I left old gas in tank. At first it would not start @ all. Took off carb, cleaned it, cleaned spark plug and now it only runs for a short period. My biggest problem is where does the govenor link go back on. There are 2 holes in the govenor lever and several holes in the piece atached to the carborator.

Hi,
Though I have never heard of that engine number a manual is here:
