Guys - - Up visiting my dad for the weekend in northern Michigan, and learned his C has a problem. There is something a-muck with the governor. Engine fires up and only runs at idle. Working the throttle lever, nothing happens to the engine. Working the linkage between the governor and carburator, engine revs as it should, and resistance from the governor is also felt. What's up? Anything serious? Is the governor the "bubble" casting just forward of the distributor on the front of the engine? Can it be pulled without removing the radiator & cowling?

Only going to be here till Sunday morning and hope to have it resolved prior to leaving.

Fall colors in north-eastern Michigan are great right now, by the way.

Thanx for your help ! !

remind me of my B farmall-the internal weights broke while I was raking and it would run wide open-bought the inside unit and it would run either at idle or wide open- check the unit for weights, spring problem, or in my case i need to redo the throttle level that goes into the governor housing-take it to a skilled mechanic who knows who you will work for days with no progress.

Almost certainly it's a broken spring in the governor. The governor will have to come off for repairs. Perhaps, if you're carefull, the housing can be removed without taking the shaft, weights, and gear with it. If you remove the shaft, or move it enough so the gears get out of mesh, or it uncouples from the distributor, you better have the engine set to #1 TDC on the firing stroke, and/or understand the timing procedure.
