I got the 1956 300 home early this afternoon. I have a few things to correct before I put it to work. The first thing on my list is the throttle lever free play. I can move the throttle lever about a third of the way before the engine speed reacts. I won't be able to see what's going on until I remove some tin to give me access to throttle linkage. What are my chances of having a broken roll pin on one of the levers?
The governor linkage is also out of adjustment, and has the wrong spring on the governor rod (G11203) to governor lever (VTA850). I actually found the correct spring in the tool box. The one on the governor rod now is too strong.
