I can not see how it affects the governor at all,,, is it not part of the manual throttle linkage,,, if the throttle stays were you put it then what does the spring do,,, I have seen'em missing on 8n and 2n and when replaced you can not tell the difference,,, if your throttle plate and throttle are working as it should the throttle will stay put,,, I am open if someone wants to explain the purpose of the spring
The only reasonable explanation for this spring that i can think of is ......when you have the tractor half to full throttle the governor (when worked) can infact move the throttle lever [b:bf75998c06]IF[/b:bf75998c06] the plate is worn and/or the tension spring on the lever is weak or broke.
If you look at how the bracket and spring are designed , you will notice how the first half of the throttle movement the spring will pull the throttle lever towards the idle position. About half throttle to full throttle the spring will pull the throttle lever towards full throttle position thus keeping tension against the working governor. Thats how i see it. I could be wrong.
Back to what i said "if the throttle stays were you put it then what does the spring do",,, I do understand what you said,,, my problem is,,, You bring yer tractor to my shop,,, I say O lord you miss'n a sprang,,, gotta affect the governor,,, customer says it werks OK,,, you replace the sprang anyways,,, makes no difference it works with it are with out it long as the throttle plate is good.
I am not one to repeat sum'n just cuzz I read it,,, well I got a 2N to mess with and it works with out it,,, I got a new sprang also,,, spec i will have to play to find out
