Hello mike, The reality is that you should not adjust the governor. The lever is used to make the governor move through its full (designed) range of speeds. Your speed control handle should move the governor control arm (back side of governor toward engine block) through its full range of motion. If you take the rod out of the governor arm, the arm should move from all the way forward to a stop to all the way back. Your hand lever should make this happen. Move the hand lever to full speed position with the governor disconnected at the governor arm. Then pull moderately on the rod while pulling the governor arm to wide open position. The link rod should now just go in the hole. if they line up, (or almost line up, but pulling a bit farther than the max governor arm will allow) the hand lever is doing what it needs to do. If it does not pull far enough, adjust the rod shorter. If the hand lever slips down toward idle, and the speed decreases, the throttle lever needs service. If it is the stock notched, or saw tooth system it needs some three cornered filing on the teeth to help them stay in place (and maybe a new somewhat heavier spring at the pivot) If it is a friction type, new leather washers (cut from an old boot from a thrift store), and a heavier spring will do it. Expect the first 1/3 of the lever travel to do nothing. That is typical. Jim

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
