Governor STOP PIN....Poor running and smokes now.yuck!
I started the 1200 yesterday for the first time since last Fall, and proceded to do some mowing... It was way down on power, and acted like my throttle cable had slipped again, but the cable was fine. Eventually it got to a speed a little off idle, and under load it would barely propel itself.
Today I pulled off the air filter housing to check the linkages behind it, etc, and noticed a loose screw behind the govenor arm. Looking at the Kohler service manual is is called a governor stop screw, has a copper washer under it, and is one of the first parts to reassemble in a motor rebuild. Questions: Would this screw backing out cause the engine speed to drop slowly as it backed out? Is it possible to just tighten this back up and go on my merry way or is there something internal that it has to hook up to that will require me to pull and dismantle the shortblock?? This is a replacement engine the PO had installed, It seems to be a shaker and is vibrating itself to death.....The Iso mounts I replaced last year... and if I can run it at full throttle the shaking is much less. Any ideas welcome, I gotta go fix my Murray's belts and finish mowing with it now...

You should be fine to just tighten it back in. You may also go ahead and re adjust the governor to be sure it is correct also. If the Governor cross shaft had broken the motor more than likely would have revved out of control, so it is a good sign it didn't get much past idle.

I had to remove the governor arm to get a straight shot at the phillips head screw, it screwed in but was a little stiff going in as if the threads were somewhat boogered. I reset the governor arm , played with the springs and throttle cable to get max speed, and it still is not running up to par.. I have a feeling the rings might have been cooked by my buddy who wwas mowing with it in pretty warm TX weather last year.(He also let the air filter plug up really bad and dirt was getting in the cylinder according to what I saw when I pulled the filter..)
As it runs the top speed slows down, and it starts to fog the area with smoke, Idling it down makes a cloud of smoke rings, blue oil smoke........This is not good..  I am going to change the oil, maybe run some MMO in the gas, and see if that helps, but I don't have a good feeling about this.

Ooooo I hate to hear that. Give the MMO a chance for a bit, that is some great stuff. I put it in my fuel cans every fill up. Have for years.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
