Being out of warranty I took it apart and the governor fell of the shaft and down into the engine, it appears only the governor assembly is destroyed, pic attached. Guess I'll see if all is well when I put it back together with hopefully with a better governor. Very dissatisfied with the Kohler product must be getting cheap parts when they build.

You are fortunate it didn't shed the connecting rod too. The Courage series is built in China by someone else, probably Loncin, and does not have a particularly good reputation. Quote #2
