Idle Problem Honda Mower Buffalo HRU196 GXV160 OHV



Hi folks

I have a Honda mower with a GXV160 OHV 5.5 Hp engine that will not idle. It
appears to run ok at full revs, but when I bring it back to idle the motor
slows them speed up again over and over at if the engine is running to slow
and the governor is compensating for the low revs.

The governor spring and lever are connected at the top of the governor lever
to the carby and the lower spring on the governor lever is still connected
to another lever attached to the throttle cable.

This problem started after I removed the blade disk to replace the blades.

Any ideas or is it a trip to the dealer
