Default engine running fast...Briggs and stratton 35 classic petrol

I will hook the smaller spring up to the `loop` tomorrow and see what
happens.

having messed about with it a bit more I am still at a loss as to how to
locate the springs, however if I start it up and the engine racing if I
manually push the lever that is linked to the regulator (paddle)
then the revs drop so somehow the springs manage the settings, but damned
if I know how.
Going by the photographs i took while dismantling as far as I am aware
there are 2 springs and a linkage to the paddle. going by your and my
photographs the larger spring does locate on the `paddle` and I have one
anchor point for the other spring, the other end of this spring I have
anchored at the same point as the other ie on to the linkage part for the
paddle, this seems the only logical place for it but it does not make
sense to me. I am sure it should be anchored else where but there does not
seem to be an obvious (other) anchor point.

Like you its now to B....y cold to continue, tomorrow will be soon enough.

I'd go for the springs being wrong somehow. I'd go out and photograph
mine
but it's dark, it's cold, and I think I'd have to take a cover off to see
the springs... I also have a sneaky suspicion there might be three
springs
but one could be linkage to the paddle blown by the engine fan that opens
the throttle if the revs drop.
