I have this Tecumsen HM80 with problems... The throttle governor linkage to both the Carb and Throttle link is messed up... I have to use starting fluid to start the engine and when I let it warm up

it dies on me because the governor runs erratic .... What I would like to know if anyone could set me in the right direction of setting up the correct linkage from the governor to the throttle linkage on

blower housing and a picture of what the throttle linkage looks like... Mine is just a mess I have a spring wire that wraps around one time and is just hanging there... I don't know where it goes...

any help will be appreciated...

Bill...

I think your Troybilt is dead..... I am willing to buy it for $50 ....   Just kidding...

I agree with Trouts2,   But I will also add.... I think your carb needs to be cleaned,  and the govenor  should not need to be adjusted  (unless someone has scewed with it)..   Cleaning the carb. should put the engine back to the factory settings.
