Had my pony start, run, and die, took me a minute to find the problem - broken spring. Check your governor spring. I didn't have a new one, but I did have some wire.... Got me going.

Have to work the lever on one of mine when having trouble getting a pony running. Should take it apart and oil the parts inside one of these days. The spring is okay though.

Some instruction I have seen recomends removing a screw from the face of the pulley and filling with engine oil every so often. Don't ask me how to get to it, probably why it seldom happens. cheers WF
