Cub governor adjustment.

ccaissie · Nov 3, 2011

I cannot find directions for setting governor speed. My 59 cub seems to be set low, and it is a bit hesitant to open the throttle when it gets to a hill...kinda bogs down and a quick blip of the throttle lever is needed to kick it back up into the proper range. Sticky?

Almost done with this jewel.

Check the governor spring to make sure it's not worn out or the holes are not wallered out causing the hesitation. There is no adjustment to the governor itself besides setting max RPMs. If it is sticky, then removal and a good cleaning might be in order. There is a small needle bearing on the output shaft, and it has a woodruff key that often develops play in groove. The support arm that comes off the front of the block is another place to look that causes resistance.
