Today, it was somewhat dry out so I decided to take my new M for a ride that I bought over the weekend. I've noticed that with it throttled ALL the way down on the last notch, it idles low, and smooth...but if you pull the throttle lever ONE notch back, it revs way up. There is no happy medium, unless you're half way between the two teeth. And if you pull the throttle back further than the second notch, or all the way, it revs up a LITTLE bit more, but not a whole lot...so pretty much I have idle all the way down, and one click back from that is full speed..also I hooked my horse spreader up to it, and went to take off in 4th gear with the engine throttled up and it seemed like it had absolutely no power, so I had to let the clutch out very slow to get it moving. Later on I was playing around on a big hill out back, and I idled it ALL the way down to where you could hear it fire on every cylinder, and put it in 4th and drove it up a decent sized hill, and it went up it without dying, so I'm not convinced the governor is completely shot, yet it only seems to do it when it has no load. Could the spring just be weak in it? I'm clueless and would like to address the problem asap. Any help would be awesome!

Thanks.

Here's a video of the idle and rev.

Today's Featured Article - An AC Model M Crawler - by Anthony West. Neil Atkins is a man in his late thirties, a mild and patient character who talks fondly of his farming heritage. He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si ... [Read Article]
