Well guys,
I really only have one problem. The engine is surging at any speed, idle, full throttle and anything in between. Surging gets worse as engine speed increases.
The engine did not surge/gallop before when I first started it (after cleaning it and changing all the gaskets and fluids since it sat for a while) and the first day. I also have little control over engine speed with the hand throttle. In order to try and fix the lack of throttle control that I had, I took off the governor just to see what condition it is in. I cleaned it and oiled it and put it back on. (I also made sure that the linkage to the carburetor is inline with the throttle linkage.)
Ever since it has been surging. I can see the governor arm going back and forth and the linkage to the carburetor.
Pulling the choke doesn't do anything, so I don't think the carburetor is blocked or something, esp. since it ran perfectly before.
I tried to adjust the bumper spring in the governor, but I sadly couldn't budge it with the governor still on the tractor. Is it supposed to be that hard to turn? I'll have to take the governor off and try turning the spring in (service manual says this can possibly stop engine galloping)
Has anyone had problems like this before and have some advise?
Thanks everyone, I am learning as I go, and the manual/service manual isn't the most descriptive or specific help.
