I have a bx2360, 2 actually. One mows like a Ferrari, but the other looses power terribly when under a load since I got it 4 yrs ago. I’ve checked changed and cleaned from the tank to the governor. Where can I get info/video/advice on adjusting/repairing the governor? Engine is great, but I believe that has been “tinkered” with by the previous owner. HELP???!

Before I give you any info let me first give you a big caution:

forum BX2360 caution note.jpg

Few people have the specialized tools to do this work without making engine performance worse or even destroying the engine.

I offer the following to you not as a "How to do it" but rather geeze I did not realize how complicated these engines are.

I suggest you put your efforts to checking valve clearances and engine compression.

If the compression is low after setting valve clearances .........................

Valves n comp are good as well. I’m going to the dealership. I’ve got the tools, but not the time. I’m positive that the previous owner or a tech did this. Slap a new one n smile through the $pain$ Thankyou sir
