I have been working on my grandfathers Super C. About a month ago it suddenly stopped starting and I did a complete tune up/troubleshoot including: new wiring, new battery, disassembly and cleaning of carb, adjusting valves, checked pistons, installed new plugs, pulled and checked starter, installed new starter switch and 1 gauge cables, changed oil, new filter, checked compression, installed new rotor/cap/wires, adjusted timing and confirmed firing sequence� I am not much of a mechanic this is why it took me most of a month to accomplish the above. I think I covered the basics (air, spark, fuel, compression, etc) and all this maintenance resulted in a significant improvement in the tractors idle and starting (starts on 2nd crank every time now) BUT I can not get the tractor to throttle up. The throttle lever has no effect and the engine stays at idle. From what I can determine the carburetor is connected to a device at the front of the engine block. Since the owners Manuel does not detail or label the device I have assumed through elimination that it must be the governor? When the tractor is running I can manually push this connecting rod from the carburetor and it will rev up the engine, but the throttle lever still does nothing. Throttle cables are good and the throttle lever does move the lever on the governor. I know nothing about governors except that it looks complicated and appears to require the removal of the radiator to work on it. I am aware of my mechanical limitations and this seems like a lot of work. Is this the correct course of action? Are there any adjustments on the governor? Are there any typical weak/breakable parts or springs inside that are meant to be worn out/replaced? I really want to keep this machine running as it is a 3rd generation machine. Any help to this amateur would be appreciated.

Tractors and the City Boy - by Ken. A few years back I came to the conclusion that city life wasn�t for me. The houses so close together you could hear the neighbors fight, traffic so heavy speed limit signs meant nothing. So I started looking for the ultimate country setting. After many months I found the perfect place, off the beaten path, up a private � mile drive, old stone house which has stood the test of time, out buildings which haven�t stood the test of time, trees, birds, rabbits, and snakes. This is the place! Bought
