Governor on LA

[Richard G.]

Is there an adjustment on an LA governor to stop surging or run away speed?
Thanks, Richard

There is a screw with a jam nut on the front of the governor that can be adjusted but I don't think that is necessarily your issue unless that screw appears to have been messed with. I never adjusted mine on my LA. Is the carb to governor rod adjusted to the right length? I do not remember off the top of my head what that should be but if that rod is too long or too short it can cause issues.

The rod that goes from the governor to the carb came loose once and my engine revved up to the point I thought it was going to explode. I forgot to put the cotter pin back in on the carb side of the rod so it just came out of the carb. That was an scary feeling trying to get off the tractor fast enough to push the kill switch on the mag.

Thanks, will check that.
