Hi guys I asked this question the other day but forgot the rest of info you need here goes.
I have a forty-one H a good running tractor but the problem is at full throttle in runs good but as load is applied it does not rev any higher and will bogg down. For example pulling a brush hog and going along fine and hit a thick spot of burmuda and govenor does not open up and tractor will bog down until you stop. Is there an adjustment on the govenor to make it respond to demand for revs. Thanks in advance.

Randy - The advice below is right on. But before you start tearing the governor apart, check to see that the carb throttle plate is opening all the way. (If it does not your motor will lack power exactly like you describe.)

Take a small inspection mirror and slide it into the carb air inlet so you can see up thru the carb venturi. Then shine a flashlight onto the mirror so it illuminates and you can see the throttle plate.

With the engine stopped and the governor handle pulled all the way back, the plate should be full open (straight up and down). If it is not, take the cover off the governor riser (the sloped cover with the vent tube attached) and adjust the bellcrank underneath until the throttle plate opens all the way.

The best way is to scyncronize the carb to the govenerAnd that is the best way by taken off the vent on top of the govener and pulling the throttel wide open and then remove the headed pin and see if there is any need to move the clevis up or down and after you get the pin to slide in add one turn be suprise on what that will do for ya.

More then likely there is to much sloop where the spring goes as the bushing that use to be in there are gone and you now have big sloopy holes and probably ware else where . The two hole that the govener spring hooks to sholud be just a wisker bigger the the diameter of the spring and have a littel champer on both sides of the bushings . This is what i have found on most of them . I have a freind that is a clock maker that makes me the bushings and ya could not beleive the differance it makes , We did his S/MTA and he was amassed it the power differance.

Tractor vet, I like the idea of the bushings, but I imagine each one would have to be custom made and fitted. I just welded the holes shut and then redrilled them. It does make a BIG difference. I still like the idea of the bushings though, might have to find myself a lathe.

We use bronze for the bushings and we rebore the arms on his littel mill and press fit them , Billy is real fussy on his work as he can make parts for clocks that are real old and he has done many goveners for me.

Sounds like the way to do it. If you think about it, those governors are sort of like a clock, a lot more precision in there than what most people think.

It is the LITTEL detail that makes the differance in good tuning of and engine and yes i am blowen my owen horn here but i have that nack as my past has proven and this comes from people that i have tuned there tractors or race cars or even big trucks . I have always been Horse Power crazzy and after you spend a bunch of money on the hard parts and can not go any more on that end then it is up to the fine tunning.

I agree with you completely, sometimes that last little bit of horsepower comes from the seat of your pants, so to speak.
