More specifically, for the spring connections, on the throttle control lever, which keeps constant speed. Alternatively, any images of how these springs are connected to their levers.

It is an older, Honda-powered generator.

Many thanks, HowardB. That is the best and closest illustration to what I'm dealing with.

Honda GX160 5.5hp. Since I posted the original query, I have broken the very light throttle monitoring spring. Had to order online.

All of this illustrates the constraints encountered when working in a rented lock-up. 1 step fwd & 3 back!!

Well, I successfully re-assembled the genny, with the newly-acquired throttle governor springs. Added fresh fuel, and pulled starter. Great - it started! …...and then coughed to stop. This is really testing my patience.


I suspect that there is some sort of fuelling obstruction, but having thoroughly clean out the fuel tank, can only think it must be in the fuel line between tank and carb. Maybe?
