F20N - It runs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and questions)

Posted by Tony (A2, MI) on May 27, 2006 at 13:05:15 from (70.236.166.17):

Hello all,

After 4 years of occassional work and a flurry in the past month, the F-20N project I have been working on and many of you have helped with advice on reached a big milestone today. It runs!!!

And it runs very nicely! I have several things still to work on, some of them major, but this was a major good day.

As far as the things I have to work on:

1. Governor seems to be very finicky. I found a nice running speed, but if I move it up one notch, it seems to go out of control. Any ideas?

2. Magneto (new and works great on my other F-20) - very small sweet spot in terms of where the spark retard where she will run

3. Now for the biggie - It drove around fine in one forward gear, but would totaly bog down and not move if I tried any other gear. At the end, when put in neutral, the gear shift went easy to move and will not shift into any gear, but seems to be stuck in one of the ones where it will not move. I had the gear shift off at one point a couple years ago. Is it possible I did not put it back on right? Any suggestions for getting it out of the gear, and for getting the problem resolved?

Thanks,

Tony
