The governor on the old H isn't working correctly-
the engine overspeeds with no load- the throttle control has no effect. So I either have idle speed or wide open throttle... I pulled the governer plate and the control rod- I could get the engine to idle, by moving the butterfly on the carb-is it suppose to have a spring return? it sure doesn't take much to get the engine to redline!

So I hooked things back up-made sure I had the tooth lined up with the slot on the butterly control- I left the vent cover off on the governor- things still didn't work, but I could push down on the governor linkage and get the engine back down to idle.

So far I'm baffled- is the problem the carb or the governor? Everything inside the governor looked okay, the weights/bearing moved freely and the spring wasn't broke. Where do I go from here? Carb and governor rebuild?

I would put in a good word for a new governor spring, also make sure linkage from carb to top of governor does not bind where it hooks up. Other possibility is that weights in governor and or pins that hold them are worn and hanging up but I would bet on spring or linkage.

Over on the tractor pull bashing board I learned that a .97 cent hardware store spring works realy good.

Just finished up an "M" that was doing almost the same thing.I replaced the govonor return spring and adjusted all the linkage to the manual specs.The tractor ran exactly as it should when the repairs were completed.Take the old spring with you to the IH dealer and compare it to a new one.They stretch and loose tension with age.Good luck with your repair.

Get back in there and take a good hard look, you're missing something.

Yep, the linkage is loose. The governor just doesn't bring it back to idle. I will try a new spring and adjust it to the specs in the manual.

Change out the governor or rebuild it.
