Looks like it broke to me ron.:biggrin:
It used to hold the piston return spring.

That's not part of the governor is it? If it still ran for a bit that would be my guess.

no lol i have 78 mroe to go but I have a few backups. This is the first problem I've had with this thing in 7 years.
I'm curious mostly as to what could have caused this to happen. it sounded like a shotgun going off and blew pieces out the sidewall.
Could it be too high of rpm's or just a bearing failure in the crank or something.

Is that a B+S engine? It appears to me that is possibly the rod bolt.

yeah its a b+s. i found as replacement motor for only 400 bucks. upon closer inspection I found it is a rod bolt. The piston is just kinda hanging in there and the crank is missing bearings.

I figured it was. B+S are notorious for doing that. I don't know why either but it's not the first time I've seen it. If I were you possibly consider Tecumseh as a replacement.

They have decent prices on motors.

Agreed. The funny thing is, the factory rev limit of 3600 rpms I think is too high for them. When I used to run them, I would actually tach them out lower at full speed because I was afraid they would blow. Weird.
