Honda Generator help

[Vickypoint]

I had to pull down the carby on my Honda EM650 generator because of contaminated fuel. I had to remove the speed governor to get the carby out.

The generator is now surging and stops after the choke is turned off. If I disconnect the governor I can get it to idle no problem.

Does anyone know the correct steps to set the governor correctly.

Thanks

Can you manually push the solenoid valve in and out on the govenor? sometimes they can get "binds" in them causing them to stick in one spot.

The solenoid is fine it works freely. I think it is something to do with the arm that is linked to the carby. It sits on a rotating shaft that goes into the motor. I have tried a few different positions on the shaft some work better than others but it does not run like it should.

Thanks for your input.

I had to adjust the governor on me Honda lawn mower a while ago, when the throttle cable slipped.

I loosened of everything and let the springs re adjust themselves on the throttle cable clamp, so the butterfly was fully closed on idle. (then tightened the cable clamp) Then made sure the butterfly opened all the way up with full throttle. (then tightened fully).

Then adjusted the choke eg fully closed when it should be and fully open when running, same thing let the normal tension of the spring set up on the governor determine when you tighten up the cable after checking the butterfly fully open or closed.

Tightened everything up and all up all seems well now.

Now the neighbours does it and he plays with it ever time he mows the lawn.
But he tells me he's a mechanic and knows what he's doing, wish he did then we wouldn't have to listen to his lawn mower surging.

Still got a problem with it. Any further advice will be gratefully received.

Thanks.

Ps It is an Em650 model.
