Hiya,Well after my discovery of the problems with my ole 8N - I rectified all of them but still have some concerns! I replaced the plugs with 437s and tightened to recommended torque, I replaced the plug wires with copper core and soldered each connection, I replaced the muffler clamps with a new set and even replaced the sediment bowl filter and gasket! I removed the existing fuel lines and cleaned them all completely. I seem to still have somewhat of a governor or idling problem. My throttle does not respond to any movement until I am about 1/2+ up the throttle plate. According to the proofmeter it is running at 1900RPM min at all times when I start her up and I cannot seem to bring her down. (throttle does not seem to function at all until I reach 1/2+ on plate - no low idle) Then at max my RPMs are off of the guage (normal?) they hover around 2500+RPMs? The engine never tries to stall but it doesn't seem to be "responding" properly. Any insight on this? Should I pop open the govenor since it seems also that I am having an issue with the tractor/hog coming up to speed as easily as it once did? Let me know what to look for! Thanks Question 2: While replacing some components I noticed that my oval tube radius rod on the carb/gov/exhaust side was slightly loose. It is not horribly loose but it does move. I chcked the other side and it is solid and has some type of cotter pin or something holding it in place. Any hitns on this?
It appears that there is a hole in the bottom (where pin should be) and I can stick my finger up the bolt area about 1" - Did something break off and/or what should be in there? Any insight on checking or repairing this? Ok, thanks in advance for any support. Andy
