Can anyone tell me where I might be able to obtain a service manual for a 6.0 horsepower L head Tecumsen Victor XL/C engine model VLV126? I just purchased a used DR Power Wagon and after cleaning the carburetor I can't get it to idle without manually pulling back on the governor lever. I know these are touchy adjustments and I'm hoping a service manual would give me some help. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help me.

That's not the right manual for his engine, he as a Vector engine (VLV)
This manual should have what your looking for.

Thanks for the timely response. This was just the information I needed. After adjusting the governor the engine still will not return to idle and wants to run much higher than the 3400-3600 rpm governed speed so I will probably need to open up the engine and make sure the governor doesn't need replacement.
