Hey guys! I'm a little confused, and could use some opinions... Wilber, my 1946 2N is running real rough under load. I use the 2N mostly for bush hogging chores and noticed this a few weeks ago. I have a 4 acre pasture.... About 3 weeks ago, I cut about three acres of REALLY tall grass and had no problems until the last acre. (All the terrain is about the same) During the last acre, it seemed like the governor spring stretched a little, but found that if I took smaller passes, I could at least get the job done and tighten the spring... So far it looked as though I was correct. The governor spring was indeed loose, and I had no control during the first quadrant of the throttle.... I tightened the spring, (by way of removing the governor to also fix an oil leak) to apparently that "happy spot", where there is not too much tension, and no "slop" in the spring. Also, (since I was getting into it) I did a very thorough job of cleaning the air filters... Put everything back together, and fired her up to head back out to the pasture. Boy did it have a very commanding sense of "I'm boss to this grass" (though now the grass was only 9 inches tall instead of 24inches) Well, to bring closure to this story, that only lasted about a half hour... I checked the spring to see if it had stretched loose, and it had not. Not at all. As a matter of fact, the 2N seems worse than it did a few weeks ago. When the hog is engaged, and going though a little bit of grass, it just starts sputtering at a real low idle, and wants to die.... Step on the clutch, runs fine. Let the clutch up, runs rough. Disengage the PTO, runs great. I checked the hog, and it moves freely and if I engage the hog on the driveway (safe long driveway) I get the nice "blade swirling" sound. So, what am I overlooking??? Or, is it time to try fussing with the governor again???
Thanks a lot guys, and I hope you've had a great weekend!!!
