Govenor

[Anonymous-0]

I have a 49 8N. The govenor started leaking oil, I made a new gasket for it. It still leaks. In the mean time I developed a throttle issue. You start it up and it idles kind of fast. You can only move the throttle about an inch. Any faster and it sounds like it's running about 90 MPH. When I am mowing if I get into some tall grass you have to give it a little more gas till you get through it then you have to back the throttle off. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your help in this matter

Your gasket material may have gotten into the mechanism of the governor. Or a long bolt/screw is in the nwrong hole! Just thinking out loud, JimN

I"m sorry, It actually started acting up before I put the new gasket on.

Then there are seized or broken parts in it. A manual and some care will set it to right. JimN

Thank you for your help in this matter. I thought it might be the govenor, but wasn't sure. Wanted a second opinion before I put out all that money for a rebuilt one. Don't think i could rebuild it myself.

Thanks Again
