Excellent video. My Masport mower has the same B&S engine and every mower repair shop wanted to charge a shitload of cash to service it or told me to buy a new one.
So I fixed it myself and I made sure I bought the parts online.

Thanks for showing the governer spring location. I recently acquired an old Craftsman pressure washer and the inner spring is missing. The governer is hunting, just like they would on the Fairbanks Morse 13K HP Diesels we had in the Navy. So I ordered an OEM spring today from Sears a parts direct. They were extremely helpful and suggested I search you tube to see where it goes.

I've just purchased the exact same Mountfield off fleabay. Saw your video and decided to service the carb. I just knew something would happen.. as is usually the case with me... I broke the governor spring trying to install the carb back onto the hook!!! Replacement springs arrived today!
Your vids are great!

Thank you very much for this excellent and most informative video. I watched it multiple times, replaced both governor springs (I had broken one trying to fix the revving up and down problem), and replaced the gasket and diaphragm per your instructions and other video on how to do that. And voila! My lawnmower is fixed and running better than ever before.

Nice to see you now using the end cards Mowerman Another free mower gets the treatment.

Very good advice Paul. People just muck up the spring for no reason.

Brilliant as my mountfield empress wouldn't start and I had to change the diaphragm b ut unfortunately I ended up breaking my leg so couldn't finish the job off and had lost the springs so now I can get new governor springs and should be back running again. Thanks fella.

My mower is doing exactly what yiur saying but it is getting fuel itnis spraying so if i replace the springs and it doesnt stop then what?

[drdecco]

Can the governor spring get too loose with age/metal fatigue - mine don’t seem to do anything???

[robrusticwoodlandproducts]

I think you and Martin butler have got all the old mountfield mowers between you lol. Oh, and if you’re doing shoutouts! ATB. Rob.

Hi there, my Masport is Erving flat out. Would that be the diaphragm?

[dhowar]

Where do I get the carburetor springs. My lawn mower goes fast and slow.
