Going to need a manual to put it back together correctly. Check on line on for one.

Look for the manual by using the data/info on the engine, not the mower model.

To set governor, connect all linkages, but don't tighten clamp on governor shaft protruding from engine block, hold throttle butterfly fully open, turn governor shaft anti clockwise, it will only move a small amount, and tighten clamp.
