I bought a Massey industrial 20 with a 3cyl Perkins gas a few weeks back. And I noticed from the beginning the throttle lever was always hard to move. And the tractor never really revved up while lot.
I took the tractor apart to replace the clutch and rear main. Now that I have everything hooked back up the throttle lever moves fine but the RP. Never changes. The long rod that runs to the front of the engien has a spring on the end (I assume for the governor) when I move the throttle lever the spring stretches but the arm never moves. So the RPM stays the same no matter where the throttle.lever is set. I can rev the tractor up by manually moving the linkage on the carb itself.
