I have a little experience with this as I have repowered a couple of oliver tractors with chev V8'S and a combine with a chev 6, and used belt drive pierce? governors. For a one lever governor to work, the carb linkage is attached to the long end of the governor lever and the throttle opener spring is attached to the short end so the spring pulls the carb open and the governor pushes it closed when the desired rpm is reached. Most combine applications are used as a limiting speed governor only, where the combine has a manual linkage to pull the carburator closed for idle speed and the governor doesnt do anything untill full speed is reached( not variable speed like a tractor needs). It is easy to convert a limiting speed governor to a variable speed, all you need to do is remove the stationary governor spring mount and rig your tractors throttle linkage so it pulls the governor spring. The more you pull the spring the faster the rpm the governor will maintain. All the extra lever on a two lever governor does is to have the variable spring mount built in. another thing to watch is to run the governor belt quite loose, the rear bushing in the case is tiny and will wear out quickly if you run the belt too tight. Also for a fast reacting governor you should run the thing at least engine speed(500-3000 rpm) and up to twice engine speed if you want a snappy governor at low rpm ( 5-1500 rpm). Another method is to run four weights on the weight carrier. Most come with two weights installed but have room on the weight carrier for four. Mine seem to have less wear when I fill them with Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil.
