Curious problem.  Looking for feedback

 

So I'm mowing the lawn at full RPM with PTO engaged, and suddenly the engine RPMs drop down to idle and stays there until I throttle down then throttle back up again which gives me full 3600 RPM but just for a short bit.  Am I on-target by saying that the plastic Governor Gear is missing a tooth or teeth (P/N 47 042 02-S)?  This would mean that I would have to pull the K241 - Ouch!

I don't think it's a broken governor gear, but if you want to take the governor gear out, you must pull the engine,

Hello  rmaynard

 

Thanks for the feedback.  I hear you on having to pull the engine for this.  I've have had it on the table once to rebuild it some years ago.  Heavy thing

 

So if it is not the plastic governor gear, what else do you think it could it be?
