So I built a UB for a mild puller. About 420 cubes. I am using a zenith carb from another application. Was wondering what the correct adjustment for governor to carb linkage is? Have it set up with carb wide open an governor wide open the rod fits in. Is this correct as my service manual doesn"t go into detail about this adjustment.

It doesn't matter what engine, Any Carb, Any Gov. That is the basic setting. You might have to tweek it a little to get preferred Gov action. Might have to make it a little longer to make up for lost motion in the linkage (Rod Holes ect). Might have to shorten it a bit if it surges or hunts. Main thing is, it has to be absolutely free and easy.

That"s kinda what I thought. I"m used to working on 2cyl deeres an those are set with throttle wide open an carb wide open. An governor rod is 1/2 hole short meaning the governor will pull carb wide open before its out of throw. Just wondering. Thanks for the info
