Have a ihc la 3-5 hp stationary engine.My governor to throttle linkage broke off Was wondering how to get the throttle shaft out of the motor? thanks brad

First off, the LA is not a hit and miss, it has a governor. I've never tried to remove the throttle shaft extension, but it looks like it has to come out the crankshaft end. I think I would start by removing the mixer to make sure that end is free then work through the hand hole.

A hit and miss engine also has a governer but instead of moving the throttle plate, it latches out the exhaust valve to make the engine coast until it reaches a lower speed then unlatches to make the engine hit and the cycle continues. Your LB engine is a throttle governed engine.
I have never seen the throttle shaft break, but what I have seen is the coupler between the rear shaft and throttle shaft in the head break. They are made of 4 small pieces of metal welded in the center about 1 1/2 long. It pulls out after the head is off.

There is a "Stationary Engine" forum here on YT that may help you out. They are slower to answer than this forum, but very knowledgable.

(quoted from post at 13:45:46 08/23/12) A hit and miss engine also has a governer but instead of moving the throttle plate, . . .

You are right, I should have said " it has a [b:d73ca9b522]throttle[/b:d73ca9b522] governor".
