So I have been prepping my LA for a repaint and found the governor wasn't responding (only idled). I took governor apart and cleaned pivot point which seems to have helped immensely. Now, I have the problem that when I advance the throttle very far the thing just dies. It runs great at idle and if I only increase the throttle a couple of notches on the throttle lever then it will pick up some rpms, but pull it back 75%+ of the length of the rod and it stalls out. Doesn't matter if you quickly close the throttle back down it doesn't recover. Also, I tried locking the brakes and putting a load on the engine by putting it gear and slowly letting off the clutch and it lugged down, sounded like it wanted to die, but when I pushed the clutch back in it didn't recover. I don't know where to look now. The inside of the governor is completely cleaned out of all that old thick gooey oil stuff. Also, how in the world do you set the length of the bolt that has a jam nut on the bottom of the governor (lower left corner). I saw some mention that it was critical to the operation, but can't figure out how.
Thanks.
Thanks.
