Farmall A govenor question

I rebuilt the govenor asembly for a Farmall "A" by rebushing the speed change lever shaft and replaced the thrust bearing and the govenor shaft spring with the correct part. The governoer weights and pins were fine and needed no attention. The carburator throttle works fine. I readjusted everything as per the service manual. My problem is that when I try to increase the speed the speed control lever needs to pushed past the end of travel and the there is only a slightly higer increase in RPM. It sounds as if the govenor spring is not the right tension. How Can I test this if at all? Is it possible to get a different tension spring? I need suggestions. Thanks,

Bob R.
 
You need to be able to reach the internal stop in the govenor when throttle is fully forward and when you are up against that stop if you don't have enough rpm you could think about the gov spring being too weak. The usual problem with all these throttle linkage is lost motion due to wear and or rod is not supported properly so it bends when being forced forward.
 
Are the springs on the throttle good and free. Is the support for tye throttle in place back by the filter assy. You said the linkage is set correct but is the rod free and no binding at the clevis. I have done a bunch of them and when done they work great but all the little things go along also. Just go back thru your set-up and you will find it.
