Briggs Intek V-Twin Throttle and Governor Controls Explained

[stewp.]

This is the best video for explaining the linkage/spring locations and the governor's operation. Thank you.

Finally (on YouTube) someone who knows what he is talking about and can explain it clearly with great pictures.

Although I have an earlier version of the twin V the throttle/ governor assembly is the same. Your explanation is very helpful, thanks.

You're the only person that has ever described The Springs and their action

Your one simple instruction about the governor adjustment at 5:00 was exactly what I needed and saved me SO MUCH TIME. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video.

I very much enjoy your teaching approach. Your 'show and tell' method is done with great clarity of detail, explaining how parts work and how each may depend on the proper performance of another. Also, I'm very pleased and impressed by the effort and time that you invest, in making sure that your viewers know the proper name of each part being replaced/repaired. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and skills with all of us. ~ Khoaken~

Watched your video, because I have the same engine on my Husqvarna. Problem from day one was it was not choking....
Thanks to your video I was able to do the cable adjustment and I now have it cranking with a properly adjusted choke . Thanks.

Thanks so much, i was having issue with my B&S and in only 30 sec you showed me that i had the throttle and choke levers backwards. Great help!!

Just replaced my oil pan/sump gasket after purchasing a used LA175 JD, and boom FULL RPM at start of the mower. JD and Briggs document that I could find were know help. Your video is exactly the information I was after and needed to be explained!!! Thank you, thank you and thanks again!

This answered the exact question I had. I rebuilt the carb on my 28 hp B&S OHC v-twin, and in the process cleaned a bunch of built-up grime. I removed the governor arm bolt you pointed out in the process of removing the carb and gleaning all the gunk out (the gunk was caused by years of a leaking crank seal that I changed last year when I bought the tractor). I caused a racing condition when I put everything back together. Your video was a rifle shot explanation (hit the bulls eye). Thanks very much for making the video!

I did a repower on my John Deere z520a from a Kohler to Briggs cxi 2700 and have been racking my brain for two days trying to figure out how to hook up the throttle 😂 glad I found your video! Thanks!

[russelltatro]

I have watched so many videos, Then this one popped up, I was ready to replace my entire engine. 1/2 hour and running great because of this video, THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊😊😊😊.

I'm not touching that governor. I don't need those kinds of problems. I did have to get my governor spring reattached though and this video was a big help for doing that. So thanks. I have a working throttle now again.

This is a great video. Very few videos on YOU TUBE have a detailed explanation as good as this video. Thanks!

Just the video I was looking for. Over time the low idle speed has been creeping up. I had to replace the magnetos after a mouse ate through the wiring and when I reassembled it all the low idle was even higher - which I guess had to do with the new magnetos and plugs. I noticed the linkage was not hitting the idle stop so I did a little "bending" and made it worse...I lost top end power. I know my way around car engines but not all to familiar with small engines. Now that I know how all this stuff works together I think I can get I back to where it should be. Thanks for taking the time to explain it all brother !!

The arms for the springs are final adjustments for the govenor but no one tells about that, you can change the springs but final low speed adjustment for the govenor is done by forming the arm that changes its tension on the govenor arm.

I have adjusted gov. The. Way your said an egg my engine over revs. What have I done wrong 2:29

[magnet]

Great video. The adjustment explanation is perfect!

[feeps]

thank you for explaining in less than 7 mins. there are ppl. that start talking about themselves or their life and their videos go over way too long, I don't have time for all that. Anyway, I am just going to take my machine to someone to adjust it because it's more complicated than I thought. My engine starting to rev, way too high while I was cutting grass on my riding lawnmower.
