Can anyone tell me what engines will bolt to a lawn boy aluminum deck. It's a self propelled gold series, 4hp. Major carb issues. I'm needing info on swapping it out with a Honda 160 or a Briggs and Stratton. Ideas?

Yes it's 2 cycle

Original 2 cycle 4hp. Commercial grade . The carb has been cleaned. It runs but only at super high rpm. I can't adjust the set screw or anything. Many hours spent trying to repair. I hate to scrap the mower, it's in great condition but that carb is not available. I was looking into a straight engine swap. I saw one with a Honda on it on here but I'm new to the site and can't find it again.

Governor

I have a mower just like this one . 10520 gold series. I set the governor just like the one I mow with. Same result. Mega high rpm. I'm no carb expert but I have one to compare it with that runs fine.

If...

If It is the governor sticking open does anyone know a fix to this problem? I can't seem to find a book on walbro carbs or just lawnboy.
