I have a Craftsman rear engine 10HP riding mower

Engine Model 143.98 1002

Family ttp358U/G2EA

It ran poorly when I got it - I cleaned the carburetor

I had the carburetor apart 5 or 6 times, never got it right

I bought a new carburetor - the engine now runs fine -however when I connect the governor linkage it goes to full throttle. I have tried every linkage hole onfiguration with no luck

I know it is a governor or linkage issue

I don't know how the governor is supposed to work

I'm not sure if the spring or linkage was correct when I got it or if the governor works at all. Can anyone get me to the next step. Thanks Pat
