I have a 861 with a non-functioning governor. I pulled the sheet metal and front axle bolster off. The
governor appears to be fine (improved roller model) and the linkage is in good shape. The roll and taper
pin were whole/not sheared. I compared rod lengths with another 172 and are very close; to the best of
my measuring ability. I reviewed the calibration/adjustment procedure in the manual and it is pretty brief
with little insight.
The engine has been apart before from evidence I found pulling the timing cover off. What am I missing?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated before I put it together.
