Hello,
I did my first long trip (3 miles) on my 1940 Farmall A. I did it in 4th gear mostly except for two large hills in which I used 3rd gear. My plan is to mark the throttle lever position at 1540 rpm no load and then have a reserve to go up to 2000 if needed. I changed my governor spring to one for a 240 and am able to achieve 1950-2000 no load. I have everything adjusted as per the manual as it was before the change. I just can't get it to idle at 550rpm anymore. I got to 750rpm but did it by messing with the Throttle lever to governor rod length (I have an adjustable knuckle on it because I have a foot pedal accelerator) and the governor to carburetor rod.Any ideas are welcome.
