Actually a better one is made by taking a piece of 1/4 inch rod, about 6 or 8 inches long and cut a 3/32" slot in both ends, then bend about an inch and a half in from one end to form a long L shape .. or cut the slot in both ends of a extra long 1/4 inch allen key .. (Briggs actually has a special tool which is basically the allen key with the slots cut in it) works much better (and accesses tight spaces better) than needle nose.. .. same principle of adjustment to set top no load on many if not most briggs engines (regardless of if it has the right spring or not)bluemower wrote: Needle nose plier are probably the best tool.

That is not normal if the governor is static adjusted correctly and the engine mechanical governor mechanism is working correctly so as to push up on that arm against the gov spring pressure and reduce the no load carb throttle opening.
You need to confirm that your governor is working.
