It's been along restoration, (14 months so far). I finally got the 101 Senior running. I went thru the Continental F226 motor, but as I posted earlier, I had the oil pump spline turned 180 degrees. A guy told me to just rewire the distributor instead of dropping the pan. (Why didn't I think of that?) Anyway, we pulled it about 100 ft, with a little turning of the distributor, it fired right off. This is the first time I've heard the flathead run. I had a couple of problems, one being one of the frost plugs wasn't seated well enough, and I lost half my coolant on the driveway, and the other is the governor doesn't seem to be working, and there is no apparent reason why not. I took it out of my parts tractor, and nothing was broke, but I have only about a half inch of throttle from idle to too fast. I had the carb rebuilt, and the butterbly they used does not have a release bolt to do any adjusting as they suggest in the manual....I suppose I'll have to take it off and see if their is any internal problems. It looked fine when I assembled it.....Has anyone had any trouble like this with their governers on the Continental?????/ I's appreciate any input you guys may have.....Dave

Dave;
The F226 would idle so quiet you could not hear it
100 feet away. Not an annoyance to be around like
those hyped Johnny-poppers from the 30's,40's,50's
The only complaints with the F226 would be less
power than the H260, thus pushing it hard would cause it to overheat, blowing head gaskets. The
head would actually warp, requiring shaving. If
difficult work were handled by a brute ,like the
Special, the six was low maintainence for decades.
I recall no governor problems whatsoever. Of course, now your parts are about six decades old.
Good Luck!
