I am screwed! M18 failure?

Bad news with my 1811! The govenor shaft seized, and it wouldn't rev above idle. I tried adjusting the govenor and now it over-revs and the brown gear doesn't spin with the motor.

Time for a rebuild finaly, after 2500 hours?
Does anyone still do that?
Anyone have advice?

That sucks! I like Magnums and Onan's but they ain't cheap to rebuild.

Swap a Kohler Command or Briggs Vanguard in it or rebuild it. Probably cheaper to swap it.

Sorry to hear that story, but wow 2500hrs. You got your moneys worth
I assume. Lots of us still rebuild things. I love the magnums as well.
My advice is go for it.
