hello been working on my old farmall super a been sitting about 5-6 years with bad rear rim.Well got new tire on rewired and gave full tune up.Been running good for couple days well i just move it and as i was parking the engine started running wide open no matter where throttle is.My guess is problem in governor.Do you think this could be just a spring broke??? never had to work on gov's before
 
Springs on governors open the carb against fly weight pressure that closes it. Unless the spring is wedging something, the broken spring would just not let it get to speed. Id the link to the carb still hooked up? is there something pushing on the link, is the throttle butterfly stuck open? The hand throttle lever should push the governor (while stopped) through full idle to wide open on the carb. Jim
 
forgot to mention throttle lever works to governor when running but not to carb but when engine is off the movement seems normal i'm going to go out and disconnect linkage to gov to carb and see if that changes anything.Ok must be carb it still ran wide open thanks for the help guys
 
Sounds like the rod on back of carburetor has come loose and spinning where it goes to governor, my B does same thing, and I have to take carb off and re-fasten it on shaft
