It makes sense now what the previous owner told me happened, he was mowing his yard and then he heard a pop and then the engine went full throttle. He said he tried to cut it off but it over sped and threw a rod before he could. All the internals look good except for some scarring on the rod cap where the governor fly flyweight contacted it . sorry for no pics I will try and get some up soon.

Was it a series II? Which side of the crankcase got a window?
I’m betting the governor gear shaft came out of its bore.
