semperfi8185 56 #1 Posted June 6, 2013 The carb was a rusty mess so I rebuilt it and it runs but I can't get the engine to idle. It runs away uncontrollably. The throttle doesn't rest on the idle screw and the choke doesn't open on it's own. Wheel Horse 1987 108-5: Model 33-08B503 Briggs & Stratton 8 hp Electric Start: Model 193707 Type 0146-01 old style 1-piece carb I think there is a linkage or govenor issue. Desperately looking for guidance or possibly a B&S repair manaul. Greg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
