I was tinkering with the governor on my 35 this evening. I don't have a tach installed so I'm not sure of my rpm but I'm pretty sure it's well above the 1000rpm threshold where it should be working. If I bump the throttle up higher and test it (brakes locked on in 3rd high) it will move the throttle lever but it's too late to do any good at that point. It takes more than a second to start moving and from what I read it should be instant. There is no binding whatsoever, I have adjusted as per instructions sent by John (UK) and over on the FENA site and as far as I can tell I'm doing everything correctly. The last bit of the instructions state that if everything seems to be done correctly with no binding and no loose connections then it could be the governor bumper spring extending too far out from the cover assembly which will require me to remove the front cover. Also, it states that if you disconnect the governor lever spring from the lever assembly and move the lever assembly to the idle position there should be no springiness there. Well I do have quite a bit of springiness.
So........I've never had one apart and the pictures I have are scans of photocopies of scans of photocopies or something like that. Does anyone have some pictures they can post before I tear into it?
