Hi,
I'm looking for some help with the throttle/governor linkage to the carburettor on my newly acquired TEA20.
It was running when I bought it, not sure how as the plug gaps were wrong, points gap wrong, fuel and air mix wrong and distributor wasn't clamped in place, so timing was out too.
I've been sorting all of these out and have it running quite well but cant get the throttle to behave.
If you move the lever far enough, the governor lever will pull out the throttle, but won't return it when the lever is pushed back and you just end up with fast running unless you push the throttle on the carburettor back.
The rod from the governor has been bent by some previous owner just behind the fork before the thread ends so obviously wrong, but I can't tell if it should be bent or not. The ferguson manual has a diagram showing a bend in it, but all the pics I've found on Google seem to be straight.
There is also a return spring at the throttle link on the carburettor which is also obviously wrong and I guess an attempt to fix the problem.
I just can't seem to get a gradual throttle increase, just all or nothing.
Can anyone advise?
