Greetings: I finally got around to opening up the governor on my 1940 A with magneto. I replaced the spring thinking that was the problem. Unfortunately, it did not help. So the question is, what to do next? The carburator does not respond closely at all to the throttle control - i.e. when you attempt to increase rpm's by moving the lever forward, there is not much response until all of a sudden you get a big jump in rpms. The throttle often has to be moved 6-10 "teeth" before the speed changes. Under load, the governor does not increase rpm's at all. When apart, the two arms - one to the carb and one to the throttle seemed quite tight. There was no play in their respective links. All the play seems to be due to the hookup points to the spring. When I put the governor back together, the spring was not under tension and the throttle and carb related arms had significant movement independent of each other. I am assuming that when the governor is working correctly that this play is taken up by the active governor. Or is the spring supposed to be stretched some even without the engine running? I hope you can understand what I am saying. What is the next step in trying to fix this problem? Thanks in advance for any and all guidance. Douglas Stockman

Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. 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
