JerryB 12 #1 Posted August 3, 2020 The governor stop pin on my 12 horse K301 must have loosened up and fell into the engine case. I was adjusting the carb and noticed it loose. I’m guessing it must have just happened. Any help or knowledge would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance Jerry 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
