On my H Farmall, that is. Not in the state capitol.
Engine seems to be stuck on about one third throttle, no matter where the throttle lever actually is.
Took the top and side covers off the governor, and with the throttle lever disconnected, the governor worked free and easy across the entire range. Started the engine, and by working the lever on the governor by hand with the throttle lever disconnected, engine would speed up, and idle all the way down, like it should.
Put the covers back on and hooked up the throttle lever and it was back like it was, stuck on about one third throttle.
Something strange going on. If it works like it should by hand with the throttle lever disconnected, why won't it do the same with the thottle hooked up? What's the difference between my fingers moving the lever on the governor or the throttle lever moving it?
