Question: governor control on my 5hp briggs & stration small engine? 

Answer: the governor switch is located on the bottom, i think on the gas tank side. its a little metal bar that has a spring on it. I t will move up and down and you can feel it click into different positions. If yo utake the spring off it will let the swith stay in the ;off position. you can also follow it back to the motor and take it off completly. you might have to take off the gas tank and the butterfly manifold. Try messing with the carb and the carb jets, you can get that little baby screamin!
