My Dad has a 1966 Ford 2000 3 cylinder gas tractor. He has been complaining that when he sets the throttle at around 1500 rpm, it will stay there until the governor is needed and the governor opens the throttle more, then the problem is the rpm stays at whatever the governor raised it to, maybe 2000 rpm. The rpm stays there until he adjusts the throttle control by the steering wheel. Then it just repeats, so when he is plowing or bush hogging, the tractor constantly goes to full throttle and stays there until he manually adjusts it. He has already made sure the bell crank on the intake manifold is moving freely, it was removed, inspected, and lubed. Our question is would this be in the governor or the carburetor, it has the original Holley on it. He thinks its the governor, but I have read on here that many people don't like those carbs. How do we check the governor operation on this tractor? What usually goes wrong with them? Thanks
Right now we don't have a manual for this tractor, but are going to try to find one.
