winch engine. question about a governor

my winch runs a little slow. ive had several people tell me to take the governor off of it. i dont know much about engines. can anyone give me some advice on how to do so? or even where it is?

i have a briggs and stratton 1150 engine. its a 7.5 hp motor

here is a link to it

thanks in advance

not familiar with this engine in particular but remember that the governor is what keeps the engine from overspeeding and blowing itself up.

yea i know. i was told by a bunch of people that have winches. that on such short pulls. it wont hurt it.

anyone know how??

I cannot see it hurting it unless you've got like 10,000 feet of rope you'll pulling at...

but then again I don't know for sure.

can you just adjust the the governer, not completely remove it.

Not sure about that specific engine. But most of them have a vane pushed by a fan that's attached to a spring that operates a flap in the carb. You can usually see the spring attached. When the motor is running you can usually use your hand to move the spring and speed up the engine. If so then you can figure out how to detach it.

yea i only have 800 feet. and 600 is the most we pull out. ive done everthing i can think of to make it pull faster. and its still slow. so i think im down to this. ill pull the covers off the the motor and play with it while its running so i can see if i can just adjust it... thanks
