Has anyone worked with the F-20 governors? My F-20 has the variable speed governor, which according to the manual and serial number it shouldn't have the variable speed governor. I have 2 F-20's and the other does not have the variable speed governor. The one i'm having trouble with is the variable speed. It has the larger governor weights with no springs on them. What I need to know is how much travel is it supposed to have, because it doesn't look like mine has enough travel. The manual tells how to adjust the linkage by having the butterfly and governor in the wide open position, but if I do it that way, then there's not enough travel to close the butterfly to idle position, if you go the other way then you can't get full throttle when the engine is under load, and even at that it still does not idle down all the way. Anyone have any suggestions?

Well, I ended up taking all the throttle linkage apart and found it was worn pretty bad which was causing the problem with the engine not idling down. I had some spare governor linkage left from another F-20 engine that were in good shape. So I ended up replacing the the butterfly shaft in the carberator, and the associated linkage. Once I got all that fitted back up it made a big difference. The governor arm doesn't have much travel to it, so after everything was back together and I re-adjusted the governor, the best you can get at full throttle the butterfly is about 3/4 the way open, limited by the governor, but at least I did fix the idle problem, but i'd say that's the way it was made...

Andrew, Sorry I can't help with your question. Just curious to see if you could tell me how much an F-20 weighs?

Thanks!
Paul

My dad also has an F-20 and he got it weighed when he pulled it in an antique tractor pull, I can't remember the exact weight but I'm thinking it was somewhere around 3600 lbs.
Andrew.
