From the governor 'vane', on end with a small hole in it is for one end of the spring........the other end of the spring goes to the throttle arm on the carb. YOU MUST HAVE THE CORRECT SPRING WITH THE PROPER LENGTH AND TENSION!!!

SOURCE: Briggs and Stratton Governor Linkage problem

The easiest thing for you to do is look at any 12.5-19hp Briggs single cylinder engine that's on just about any riding mower.. They all have the same set-up.

One engine startsand you move throttle to run, engine runs at extreme rpm's and will not throttle down

John the governor is probably sticking, check for dirt and debris, make sure spring/ linkages are still attached, after cleaning lubricate linkages with lubricant WD or similar. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

Champion 35 Classic lawmnower with a 3.5hp briggs and stratton engine. Engine starts fine but will not run regularly.Keeps revving and then dying back and then revving again continuously.

Check the governor spring and throttle linkages, something may have come adrift. Also check the throttle shaft and body for wear and excessive clearance which could **** in excessive air, upsetting the mixture.

I need the linkage diagram for a 20 hp briggs and statton model 407777-0167

Besides the service manual you can view parts diagrams at a dealer like www.arcolawn.com. You can purchase the service manual at a dealer and it will show you how to hook it up.
The throttle linkage hooks up to the throttle shaft closest to the engine. the governor spring attaches the governor arm to the throttle linkage.
The choke cable attaches to the shaft farthest from the engine. I hope this helps.
PS your engine has two factory service bulletins on it.

Motor runs wide open when set @ slow speed

It could be that the governor spring has become disconnected or has broken on an end where it hooks onto the throttle linkage. If the spring is OK & throttle linkage is not binding it could mean the governor drive inside the engine has failed preventing the governor from operating correctly. You may need to take the engine to a mechanic to fix the problem.

Think i have a problem with governor on my 21hp v-twin briggs. it jumped to max speed and can't get it to slow down. which part of the governoring system could have let go?

Check for a broken spring on the governor linkage, follow your throttle control cable down to where it attaches to the throttle mechanism. In behind where the cable attaches you should be able to see a spring on the governor arm, the spring may have broken or somehow came out of its attaching point. Obviously be very careful about over-revving the engine, it could result in a broken connecting rod and a hole in the side of your crankcase.
