Governor

[Anonymous-0]

I am looking for some advice im not sure that my governor on my A is working properly. I have adjusted all my linkages the pins are in good shape and i have adjusted the linkage to the carb a little shorter ( 3/4 ) of a hole. Im looking for ideas and is there and good way to check to see if it is working without going to a pull and hooking it up a d see if it runs. I appriciate all the help and advice i will recieve.

Deere "A", Wide open throttle, lock up the brakes and put it in the highest gear you have. Push in on the clutch it should respond.

If your governor wasnt working, when you pushed the throttle open the engine woudl keep winding up untill the engine scattered itself. The governor holds the carburetor to a given rpm at the spring pressure.

To set the governor to carburetor linkage open the throttle (engine off). With the carburetor also set in the wide open position the governor to carburetor rod should be 1/2 hole short (according to Deere recommendations). I set them somewhat shorter than that. Once this is set unless you change something it need never be bothered again. Also, ONE good spring on the governor is all you need. Anything more than that effectively kills your torque rise. It will make the engine run faster but fall flat under load. Guaranteed. Mike
