Mornin',
While replacing the battery box on my 860, I noticed the throttle bellcrank friction disc spring washer was partly disintegrated. The governor compensating spring had never been there since I've had the tractor so I decided to replace them both.
My question is, how do I know how tight the spring washer nut should be? The new compensating spring is very tight and, while I never really had any issue with it, the throttle seems the same. Maybe I just lucked out and installed the spring washer with the proper tension? I'm just starting to wonder why I even spent the money to replace them if they don't seem to be doing anything.
Thanks.
