G governor problem

if your telling me that you have it half way open but the gov. will not open the carb all the way when needed to keep rpms, then you have a lingage adjustment problem. also the throttle lever connect to the gov. via a spring plate bar (1/2"w.x approx 8" long). if you are flexing that plate to easily and not opening the carb. it may be worn or not the right plate. or still too much mechanical drag. i have not seen one of these go bad because it does not bend much. . the governor uses the pressure from that bar to help pull that carb lingage also. on my "G" my gov pulls that carb all the way with ease under heavy load to maintain the RPM's. there is no other adjustment on the gov other than lingage.

try flipping that spring bar over and see what it does. make sure its not bent on the end that sits under the lock down nut on the gov side. it should be perfectly flat. use a hammer on a straight surface to flatten if needed. make sure there is full travel on hand throttle lever. also new rebuilt carbs will have some drage on the throttle plate becuase of new bushing etc. but if too much this is no good. use WD40 too loosen up if needed. My linkage has no or little mechanical drag. also my governor travel is more than the carb will travel all together. so the linkage is not the "touchy" to set up. typicaly you set it up to idle when the throttle lever is at idle. there will be plenty of travel to get to full throttle.

my 2 cents.

post back with results or questions.

with the hand throttle lever at idle. the linkage is relaxed. the linkage going to the carb is inline with the hole. you can take it on and off with perfect alignment with carb butterfly linkage resting up against that little spring as a stop, not pushing into it. with full throttle there is approx, 1" between the spring plate and the gov arm. soo it has that spring plate flexed pretty good at full throttle.

if this is your set up then you may need to look at your gov closer. this would be a whole other chapter of what to do?

I know when i rebuilt my gov there was alot of play in it that should have not been. especially in the counter weight pins etc. also make sure those counter weight thrust bearing are sliding on the shaft easily. also if you have to replace any of those bearings on the counter weight shaft its tuff. you will need a press to get the old ones off and new ones on.
