Hi Guys,
I have a 1948 old style 88 standard and I am trying to adjust the governor. I was going to take it apart to see why the governor won't respond, but upon inspection it seems to be way out of adjustment. I am following my IT book. I have the hand control throttle in the full speed position. The part I am not clear on is where the book says to place the carburetor throttle control valve in the wide open position and the governor unit lever in full forward position. Do they mean the governor unit lever goes forward toward the radiator which stretches the spring or toward the carburetor? Either way my carburetor throttle rod is way off. Also is the wide open position on the carburetor throttle valve back towards the seat? If these adjustments don't help, I will probably have more questions on how to tell if my governor has been updated to the later 88 governor. My book says if the earlier governors need correction of excessive wear on governor gear and thrust washer, you replace it with a later governor shaft assembly. Thanks in advance for your help.
