My B1 seems to get very sluggish when good and warm after mowing for quite a while. The governor lever seems to stick and it is very slow to pick up speed or to drop revs when the throttle lever position is changed. When cold or only moderately warm it works fine. I've blown out all the shrouds and fins so I have good air flow for cooling. If I park it for 1/2 an hour or so, then it's OK for a while. I'm not sure where to look next.

I just bought a big Ten and the gov was sticking. I had to take the engine apart to fix it. A little 1500 gt sand paper so it slides like it should. It's some work but I had to do it.

Thanks, I kinda thought it might be an internal problem. It'll wait 'til winter as it's got a lot of hours on it and is due for an overhaul anyhow.
