I'm working on a 42 h. I just replaced the head gasket, water pump and thermostat. Runs great at idle and up 3/4 open then it starts surging really bad. I can watch the governor linkage move as it surges. I tried holding the gov lever to see if it helped but I'm not able to hold it. Any ideas? Could it be a linkage adjustment. I noticed the adjustment by the head that connects the hand throttle to the gov is screwed all the way down.
Also I removed the valve cover to retorque the head and noticed not a lot of oil on the head. So I started it up and watched oil is coming out of all the holes on the rocker arms but its just dribbling out. Is this right? Oil seems to flow over the rocker shaft and back to the pushrods but I don't see any getting over to the valves. It doesn't seem like the oil could flow over to the valves like it does to the pushrods. Any thoughts? Thanks
