Hayter 21 Throttle/Govenor linkages

[Rayp 46]

Regrettably, I neglected to make a sketch or photograph the throttle and governor linkages on the top of the carburettor before removing

it for an overhaul.  I am now uncertain which holes to use for the throttle and governor springs and likewise for the 'wire rod' with cranked

ends.  The Parts Manual and/or Repair Manual are not helpful in showing where they attach. Can anyone please help?

If you have whatsapp on your mobile phone I can photograph mine, or email you a picture tomorrow. I cannot post pictures on here.

The same question has just been asked elsewhere  and having failed to find a decent digram in any BS book a friend has marked up an image.

Thankyou for your offer Potash and many thanks Potash for the photo which is very helpful.

[Rayp 46]

Sorry Wristpin I meant to have thanked you for the photo.

[Potash123 26]

Glad you got it sorted. I always photograph linkages now with my mobile phone. I learn't the hard way, saying that some of these are on Youtube and quite helpful. Regards Colin

Thanks Colin.  I'll try and adopt your practice in the future as its not the first time I've relied on a manual only to find it is not very helpful.  I've located the springs and wire as per the above photo but still need to fiddle as the smaller spring doesn't seem to be doing anything.

The small spring shares its anchor points with the rod and has an anti-rattle / hunting function. Its absence will probably go unnoticed on an old 21. It just keeps the linkage in tension.

I've often wondered the purpose of that small spring. I can stop now.

Another mystery solved - I'll bet very few people know that!

Hi

I realise that this thread is quite old but I have just joined the forum in the hope of getting help and advice in my quest to get an old Hayter Twenty One running again. This throttle linkage phot has been a godsend! I don't suppose anyone hads a manual of parts list for the same machine?

Thanks in anticipation

Jon

Hi, There is a manual and parts list for the engine which you can download from the Briggs & Stratton Website.  There is also a Hayter user manual and parts list for the remainder of the Machine and, if this is what you are looking for, I could copy it for you.

Hi Ray, Hope all's well.   You beat me to it.

 

JonW- I have replied to your PM.

Hi Ray

a copy of the Hayter manual and parts list would be absolutely brilliant if it isn’t too much trouble

thanks

Jon

Just for everyone's information. I have uploaded the available manual in PDF form for the Hayter Osprey and 21 machines. It's in the orange header line marked DOWNLOADS. Engine data will need to be obtained from the B&S website.

Hi Richard,

I'll have to try uploading sometime as I have never done it! I'm fine thanks just waiting for the 'old age vaccine' to become available. I actually stumbled across the wheel nuts you were seeking the other day, but I assume you have long since found some.

[Anglo Traction 1,016]

If you still have the WH wheel bolts handy Ray, I will check with Roly to see if he still needs them and will drop you a PM. Thanks very much for that.

Regards
