I went to manual for governor adjustment. To adjust gov. (engine stopped) place speed control change lever in wide open position and remove pin from rockerarm and carburetor throttle rod. Holding rockerarm and carb throttle rod as far toward carb as they will go. If pin doesn not slide in freely adjust rod. Pin did not go in beause rod was to long by 1/4". Shortened rod till pin went in freely. Started tractor. No more over run. Old tractor is running very smoothly. Don't now RPM don't have meter to read, but it sounds better than it did before I had this problem. Before problem occured I did nothing to tractor except change spark plugs. points, condensor, new belts, and a new radiator and cleaned out lower radiator tank which was full of gunk from all these years of neglect. (Any thing else do I neeed to do?) Still have no clue what caused governor to ack that way after all these years. Thanks for all the comments and help.
