Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): scotts mower with briggs and strratton engine, engine model type, govenor
QuestionI have a scotts 2046 (20 hp with 46 inch cut) twin. Approx 10+years old and normally cutting over an acre during the mowing season. While mowing the engine all of a sudden went to maximum (or over maximum) revs. I think the engile limiter/govenor probably has gone kaput. Any thoughts?

AnswerWhat is the engine model, type and code number? Did the governor spring break?
Below is a link to the Briggs governor page:
