Greetings,
My wood splitter is powered by an 8hp Tecumseh horizontal shaft engine. The governor seems to be a mechanical one. The engine is constantly hunting at full throttle. I would appreciate any help with this problem, since I haven't yet found a service manual. Thank you,
Fabien.

Try a little less "gain" in the governor linkage if nothing else works. That's less throttle opening for the same amount of governor arm movement. Hey, I'm old and grumpy too.

I have found that most hunting problem on Ted. engines is the idle passage is plugged in the carb. It is also very difficult the idle passage in the Teccumseh carb.

That's a GREAT resource, but I've quit referring people there, as the crabby old coot that owns that site DOES NOT LIKE posts on his site that direct people HERE to Kim's sites.

I used to be a regular there. Several times I posted there with a helpfull link to one of these sites (Kim's), when I knew someone here could help someone looking for help at the "other" site.

The "other" site's webmaster would quickly delete those posts, and, after several emails from him explaining why he didn't want ANY links to THIS site (Kim's), I quit posting on his site, or posting links HERE to his site.

There was nothing obnoxious, libelous, etc., in the posts, he just simply did not like people to be referred HERE for help, even when they weren't getting replies over at the "other" site.

Too bad, both sites are wonderfull resources. I've never known Kim to delete a post with a link to the "other" site, yet Harry, at the "other" site is offended by links to Kim's sites!

That post should have been up above, under Kent MO's post in reply to the Fairbanks lightplant question.
