My 49 8N has been running great after receint restoration and overhaul; However, I have noticed that the engine tends to surge when running at 3/4 to full throttle. I did not rebuild the govenor because I never had this problem before the overhaul. After reading archives I'm thinking the throttle and carb linkage or govenor may need adjustment. I have plenty of power under a load and govenor seems to respond normaly except for the surging. Any advice or recommendations appreciated. Thanks. Rick(Ga)

check to make sure you have a good flow of gas. could be a clogged filter or line.
AND fool with the main adj needle, back it out till it flutters while at max. rpms, screw it in till it almost dies..find a happy medium.
I have also noticed a difference in tankfuls of gas, octane seems to vary as much as the prices
