Hey there, so I just did some maintenance on my 41 9n. I cleaned up the distributor and put a fresh set of points, cap, rotor, and coil. When I got this done I needed to clean out the carb because it was clogged up with rust, so the carb was gone thru as well. So I fired it up today and it ran pretty well except for it surges a bit. It idles well and barely surges at full throttle, but just under full throttle to about mid-way it surges pretty bad. I checked for leaks at the intake and found none. To check if it was running lean I put the choke on a bit and it ran very rich- so I assume that's not the problem. I held the governor linkage and it ran nice and smooth. So could my problem be in the distributor? I would find it strange that my governor is acting up just as I did some work on other parts, but stranger things have happened. The engine is still producing good power- even while it was running like this I pulled a car out of the mud and it did not suggesting whatsoever. So- anyone have any suggestions?
