I've just got back from three days on the road and was checking in on Dave's progress.
I'm plenty familiar with the adjustment on the left side of the tractor of the final link from the governor to the carb. But I'm wondering how you make the adjustment you describe on the right side, from the control lever forward to the governor.
My BN has about the same range as Dave's B and I'm living with it. Similar on my SuperC but it functions over something more like 3/4 of it's range, but then the control lever is a little different design and geometry.
These are both modern Zeniths(replacing an old Carter and and old Zenith, both of which ere encrusted beyond salvation) and I just figured (without thinking to do any measuring at the time, of course!) that the throttle lever on the newer carbs was longer, and ate up more of the throw of the governor rod.
To just plain have them right would be nice, but they are livable and workable as is, though it would sometimes be nice to have a little finer adjustment.
But the rods on both just have two springs at the governor end, a shorter, stouter one ahead of the block, and a longer, lighter one behind, the tension for both supplied by cotter pins over washers. What/how are you adjusting?

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
