Thanks to all for the help...but I'm coming back to the well. Got my new '50 8N side mount running, changed all the fluids, unstuck the drain plugs, put new nuts and a lock washer on the pinion shaft (unplanned repair), replaced a bunch of seals, and the relief valve on the hydraulic pump, put her all back together and...she isn't running at full power. I disconnected the governor and the engine runs strong (no load), so...I assume its a governor/linkage issue. I haven't had the governor off, but it seems fairly responsive. It does seem to "pull" on the power lever linkage when you rapidly apply full power...is this normal? Also, there is a hefty "z" kink in the linkage (throttle control/governor)....I don't think this is helping. It looks like someone bent the linkage rather than adjust at the control arm... So, I am going back to recheck the fuel filters and make sure they aren't clogged and double check the gaps and that the firing order is correct, otherwise I may try and straighten the linkage arm... and/or take off the governor to see if anything jumps out at me.... What am I missing?
