So I'm new to tractors but am not new to carburetor engines. So I got this tractor for next to nothing and it was a basket case. First thing I did was a compression test, all cylinders were over 100psi. So started working on it carb was stripped cleaned and rebuilt. Set to factory settings, and replaced points, condenser, wires, plugs, fuel screen, and wiring. So now to the fun, it cranks and runs! Just not correctly, if I completely disconnect governor and pull throttle all the eay open it doesn't rev high like it should. The governor does pull back on the throttle when all hooked up. I have set the timing to factory settings and tried to mess with it to get it correct but no luck. Any idea where to start? I have not replaced the manifold gasket nor have I checked the valves but there is no valve noise. If they where to tight I would think the compression would be low, I have sprayed carb cleaner on the manifold to see if there is a change like a intake leak. Just agrivated with it, cranks right up every time, but even at 1500rpms it will drop for no reason then pick back up. Cant start of in 3rd gear, and using an impliment with it just isn't going to happen right now.
