H Engine governor setup

[bryce05]

Looking to see if there any adjustments to the governor or to see if I have it set correctly before I paint it. Engine runs great, I had to adjust the small arm on the governor arm for the linkage to work correctly. Does the governor spring have any impact if it has been replace with the incorrect one? thanks

Bryce,
Switch that top rod around. The end you have in the gov arm should be in the carb throttle hole.

That little arm on top is a real time saver. Especially if you are making your own rods. You can be off quite a bit with the length and still get it to work. That whole throttle setup is ridiculous really though. The bracket that bolts to the head is so much easier for those 6 hp and above motors.

FYI.. The upper and lower rods are repo's of NOS originals.

Does anyone know what can be used, or where can I get, just the lower linkage rod ? I can't find one. Thanks.
