  • I decided my 5hp Tecumseh could stand for a governor delete to see how fast the go kart could really go. I managed to get through it all without cratering the engine! Hope you enjoy.

    And when you brought a hacksaw out, I laughed.

    Best advice I can give for removing the pin in the center of the governor gear is to grab the tip of the pin in a table vise and use a dead blow or rubber mallet to knock it slowly out of the cover. The end of the pin is splined and so trying to twist and pull it out usually just causes slipping and scarring of the pin itself. I fought this same battle last week. P.I.T.A.

      Getting that thing out took freakin' forever. Good call on the bench vise!

      Thanks! Have been trying to figure out how to get the old gear out for replacement. Gear is only $12 and it's on a snowblower, so I sort of need the governor.

    This is where Id say use a rotary dremel tool it would save you time. Good video I am going to remove mine soon. I am subscribed on cars and cameras. I have yet to see them do a Tecumseh governor removal. Thanks for the upload, anyway.

    You can leave the gear on but take the arm off that's what pushes on the gear and slows it down

    Why not just disconnect the linkage to the carburetor allow thus mechanism to function but it will have no effect on the throttle if the linkage isn’t connected. Right or wrong ?

      Well if he did that then he would not have made a video showing us how to take a governor off. The video he made helped me with my engine.

    You DON'T want to leave the governor Gear on the shaft without the Spool installed. The Governor Weights will Spin out and CATCH inside the case and Tear the gear teeth off the governor Gear!

    So I removed the governor on the exact same engine and when I start the engine it runs and doesn't stop? What's the solution? I connected a metal wire to the throttle but nothing works. Could you explain it or possibly make a video?

    • @LukesAmateurHour
      @LukesAmateurHour  4 роки тому

      It runs full throttle? Or you have no way of stopping it?

    • @themagicloaf8327
      @themagicloaf8327 4 роки тому +1

      @@LukesAmateurHour Not necessarily full throttle but when I start the engine the wheel spins fast and the engine runs by itself it doesn't idle at all it's like I'm pressing on the pedal

      It sounds like your Governor is out of Adjustment. There is a way to Static Adjust.

      I’m pretty sure it’s just the carburetor cause my tecumseh does the same thing, I’ve seen people put predator carburetor on them and they perform much better

    hey I know it's been a long time but I have just rebuilt the exact same engine in this video and can't seem to get the timing right. Do you think you could take off the crankcase cover and show me where your timing marks meet? Ive looked everywhere online and cant find anything on that. This would help me out a bunch so I dont have to buy a new motor. Thank you and I hope to hear from you. :)

    I have a brand new never used 2007 Tecumseh 5.5 snow-king on my go kart, So I will not remove the governor,
    But I just realized I have another older crappier 5hp snow-king I'm going to remove that governor and run it,
    If it dies no biggie, Plus I will have a better understanding of what it can handle.

  • @Dhldakram5

    Should of just bypassed by using a wire on the outside and connecting to the throttle plate preventing the governor from engaging!

    You should never take the governor off. If you want more speed, get your different axle.
