Farmall B govener issues

I"ve got a newly restored B Farmall. Engine was completely rebuilt, including the govener (all bushings springs etc).

I can"t get the engine to maintain a constant speed. It revs up and then slows down over and over. It won"t maintain a constant speed when I rev it up. When I hold the carborator manually it runs fine at any speed but when I let the govener take over it has the problem.

Does the govener need to "wear in" before it will run smoothly? Or did I not adjust it right? There are only two adjustments (top and button bolts) on the govener. My assumption is these are for idle speed and wide open adjustment.

Thanks for the help!

Mike, On the bottom of the govenor you have that acorn nut, remove that nut and loosten the jam nut and try turning that screw in while the engine is running. There is a compression spring on the end of that screw to prevent the govenor from hunting or surging, see if that helps your problem.

Yep, what scotty says is right.
If you have the manual, there is a procedure in there to set up the governor.

Just be careful with your fingers if you are adjusting that screw with the engine running. The fan is very close.
