How do you set the governor on this engine, it surges and doesn't get up to full throttle
#4
Did you clean all 3 holes in the main jet? There are 2 tiny holes that everyone misses. 1 is in the threads. Surging is caused by not getting enough fuel to the engine.

how do I know what spring to get? When I start it with choke on, it starts to sputter, then when I move the throttle to high speed it just keeps on searching, then when I move it to slow, there is no change in engine speed. There is a small plastic cap, is that an adjustment screw on the carb? Even if I hold the govenor steady, it starts to back fire. and if I push the gov. it speeds up. something isn't doing its job, but what

If you can post the numbers off the engine and perhaps the equipment it is on, some one most likely can find a part number for you. You could also take those numbers to a local shop along with the spring and compare or replace.
It does sound like this could be the problem. The throttle actually changes the tension on the governor spring to control engine speed. It could also that the spring is not connected correctly.

Got it running and found out why it wouldn't go slow and fast, the throttle cable wasn't adjusted right. It now goes slow and fast, but with hesitation and does not run smoothly. under load with the blade on, it runs fine, but with the blade off, it runs rough. Any ideas?

I don't recognize those engine numbers...but it sounds as though your high speed may be a bit too high, or carb a bit lean. I would try adjusting the cable back a bit so that full speed is a bit less.
FYI there is no need for full throttle with no load, IE: no motion drive and no mowing.
Would you mind posting the model numbers for the Snapper rider?
