The governor responds best with some RPM's, half throttle or better. Below that it is sluggish. I like the idea of checking you timing before cranking on the gov. bumper screw. Do the governor adjustment routine in the manual if you haven't already done so. Taking off in all gears, sounds like your gov. is working pretty good. I've checked my valves cold & hot and have always found them to be good hot, as long as you do a good job cold. To me it's one or the other, but don't need to do both hot and cold.. unless you just want to... which I did too. 12V is in the eye of the beholder. 6V does the job just dandy if maintained. I clean my wire terminals once/year and coat lightly with terminal grease and never have trouble starting even on those near zero days. I am NOT happy with the fairly poor lighting I get with my 6V system. I can run the headlights, or the rear work lights, but not both at the same time... unless I want weak yeller lights and my amp meter in the red (discharge). I'd love to have 12V system with more amps, some big off-road 12V lights front & rear to light up the night, a horn, and power to run a 12V sprayer pump... all at the same time! I figure if my generator ever dies, I'll probably convert to 12V, but as long as it's working it ain't worth the expense. You have to make your own call what you want. George
