I have a late 60's Ford 3000 Gas 3-cylinder that the governor linkage is giving me issues. The good - The tractor starts, runs and idles perfect. The bad - When you throttle the tractor up, there is zero movement from the governor arm that is attached to the throttle shaft on the carb until it gets to about 2/3rds throttle. So the tractor will literally jump from idle to 2/3rds throttle, you cannot get it to sit in between unless you bump the governor arm with your hand. It then works as it should from 2/3rds throttle to full throttle as well as when you reduce the throttle down to idle. What I know - Both springs are in place on the linkage (the larger one that attaches to the manifold and the one near the governor lever that only has a hook on one end.) Also, there is not a bind in the throttle shaft (it's brand new and moves freely) and I have lubricated the governor arm and it doesn't seem to have a bind in it as well. I have also made sure every joint/ connection on the throttle linkage is lubricated and moves freely. Could this be an issue with adjustment of the governor or the linkage? I don't see anywhere that the spring tension on the linkage can be increased (which seems like it would correct the issue) and I'm at a loss. Can anyone provide me some insight on this?

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
