Is there anyway that a governor that not working properly or out of adjustment would drastically affect engine power? Or is it strictly related to speed and engine rpms going up and down? When my tractor is pulling the bush hog it will bog down some and seem to rev just a little higher and come out of being bogged down when the grass isn't noticeably shorter or less thick. Doesn't always do this and maybe it is due to entering a thinner area of grass but I wanted to ask about it. It does maintain a consistent speed and rpm most off the time. especially when there is no load on it. When the throttle is closed all of the way at an idle, I can open it 1/4-1/3 before the engine starts to pick up rpms. Does this mean when it is opened all of the way that it may not be a full engine rpms?
Also, can anyone tell me how the compensating spring goes on? It is not the spring near the fan, it is the spring just above the disc with the spider compression washer on top that is under the battery I have the spring but can't figure out how it goes on. Sorry for so many questions, but the engine or pretty worn down on this tractor, Im trying to figure out if there is anyway I can get good enough performance out of it without putting for money into it just to find out that I'll have to sell it at a total loss. Here is what the compensating spring looks like.
