So yesterday as I was pulling trees out of the bush lot a piece of brush jumped out of nowhere and attacked my OC-3. :roll: , I found out what to hold back to prevent the motor from winding out, holding it at a very low idle. But I cannot for the life of me figure out where to attach a spring, there are no simple spots that I can see. Can anyone help???
My parts book, owners manual, and sales lit. show me no picture, drawing that could help me.
Any help is appreciated,
Mark
mammaogi@hotmail.comFurther Information.......I'm Sorry, but I forgot to say, My OC-3 Has been repowered with a Hercules Ixb-5. So i better ask, does anyone have any information on that model of engine.
Sorry About that!

Mark,
i'm not near my OC-46 at present, but if i remember correctly the only spring is for the choke. the main throttle has no spring and is controlled by the governor. the governor has a spring on it though that pulls the throttle OPEN (the governor pushes it closed). my OC-46 has the 4 cyl gasoline Herc engine.
i don't know if this helps.

Same thing on my OC3, the spring goes from the L-shaped arm on the governer (not the Governator

) straight down to something hidden behind the Anderson dozer mount.
