I hope there is someone out there with the answer to this problem. I had someone clean my pony carburator because, I could not control the RPMs on the engine. I got the carburator back and still have the same problem. The engine seems to only run at one speed, wide open. I know if I do not correct this problem, I will blew the engine up in time. Can only control the engine a little with the choke. I also think there might be a problem with the governor. Is there anyway to check the governor out, to ensure it is working correctly. Thanks for any help on the two problems. I'm not a mechanic, just a want to be.

Take the arm off from the gov. to the carb. & work the carb. by hand & if you can get idle & up & down RPMs then you got a governor problem so then you,ll have to go from there.If it is the gov. then someone on here must have one to sell you.

Like SJ you should have a governor probleme

the governor can be opened up to oil it and free it up if that is the problem.

Also check that the throttle lever on the carburetor is free to move through it's full range of motion from slow where the idle speed screw touches the stop to wide open. Idle speed screw isn't screwed in all the way is it?

Then when you replace the linkage from the governor arm to the throttle lever on the carb, the throttle control rod should be pulling the throttle closed. (the long extension on the linkage pin is toward the left side of the machine and the "hook" on the throttle control rod is past the pin so it pulls on it).

The throttle control rod blocks the governor from speeding the motor up to full speed when you pull out on the knob. When you push it in, it allows the governor room to speed it up and if you push the control all the way in, the governor has room enough to fully open the throttle under load to maintain set speed. It will normally keep the throttle closed most of the way until the clutch is engaged and the engine is loaded, then it will open the throttle a lot more.

The governor is pretty simple, there are flyweights in the pulley that push on a rod through the middle of the shaft and work the lever coming out the back, The spring pulls the arm toward fast and the weights stretch the spring and push the arm toward slow.

You may only need to spray the governor arm where it comes out the back cover and work it back and forth. If that doesn't get it, remove the back cover with the arm and the front cover on the pulley to oil and free it up. when you button it back up, with the governor sitting horizontal, fill the pulley with oil until it runs out and replace the cover.

I don't know where your located in Texas, but if you need parts, I have a pony of a D6 9U I will give you if you come pick it up.

yes dirtdog that is what i did. i gave "ALL" my pup motors to catd9 on the acme BB. the electric starter is so nice on my D6 9Us, they are less stressfull then a pup motor, LOL
