Lawn Mower ?

I have a lawn edger I bought for cheep (the engine hunts). I found someone had stretched the governor spring, how do I get it reset so it will idle smoothly?

Replace spring. No alternative - the springs are calibrated. If it's stretched, it's new properties are unknown, and therefore can't be compensated for.
