I've got some questions, I believe to be the governor. I've read all kinds of posts in the forum and tried various things and the thing that stuck out the most was the test below:
[symptom]
- no power under load
- idles great
- gets to full rpm no problem with no load sitting out of gear
- starts fine
[various things done]
- timing correct
- rebuilt carb (air compress shot jets passages too)
- cleaned out sediment bowl and mechanism (removed from tank and flushed tank)
- tweaked carb to 400rpm idle
- adjusted governor and throttle rod's per manual (to-4 or whatever its called, not looking a it this second)
- 400-450 rpm idle, 2100-2200 rpm max full throttle
- adjusted carb 5-6 times per instructions in the manual and tips on this forum
[governor indications?]
- tested tapping the throttle faster from idle to see when throttle actually goes up (about 1/4th is nothing, then it does).. the manual says if nothing happens in 1/3rd 1st quardrant then might be issues.. and to adjust governor per manial (but i have done that)
- tested in gear, holding both brakes, and letting clutch out slowly to see if throttle goes up (governor kicking in) due to the load. this didnt happen at all, not the slightest bit! This is also what happens when i put a load on out in the farm with disc's or any load.
[questions]
- do i have a bad governor?
- should try anything else?
- should i take the governor off (it leaks oil by the way, so need a gasket anyhow)
- where is a good place to get a new governor if mine is bad, or should i try to find bad parts and fix just those?
thanks for your help!
