    Hi,
    The governor spool attaches to the crankcase cover. The arm is L-shaped and must touch the spool to work.
    The throttle control is moved to full speed, the pinch bolt attaching the linkage to the governor shaft is loosen, rotated counter-clockwise and retightened.
    For a manual, see:
    Tecumseh Small Engine Specifications
    Go midway down and choose L-Head...
    Peace,
    Clarke
