I need some help. I took apart the trottle rod to the govenor linkage. This is at the end that has the two (2) small springs and govenor linkage in the middle. It also has a nut on the end of the rod. I cannot remember exactly how or how tight I tighten the nut on the end.

any help? please?
 
Think of that throttle rod as setting the rpm up and down through your low and high idle. Let's day you are getting 500 and 1800. If you move that adjuster up the rod, that is more threads out of it and the nut further up you should then get maybe 1700 and 400.

The rod from the hand throttle has the governor control equalizer (U shaped metal) that slips on first, then one spring then the governor control pivot, then the other spring, then the last flange of the equalizer. The nut holds the equalizer in position, and is tightened to do so. The springs keep the sliding pivot centered. If the springs are week, putting washers on either side of them can center the pivot. The linkage should pull the governor rod to full limit of travel when in the rear notch of the hand lever, and all the way to the idle position when forward. Adjustment of this is usually not needed. if it is not going full travel when operated at the hand lever, washers could be used to move the pivot between the springs such that it does. In all cases the pivot should be between two springs. See diagram in caseih.com search for parts.

Jim,

Thanks. I think the rust and dirt was holding the U bracket in place. Now that I cleaned everything this is a little slop between the springs and sliding pivot.

Should the U bracket be tight or move freely?
 
From the best of my understanding the U bracket is fixed in place. If the springs are loose on the little slider, I would put washers on the rear most spring such that the slider was moved away from the driver a little. Wear sometimes allows the full open (fast) position of the hand lever to not open the governor all the way. The governors internal workings actually set the max RPM, so the linkage should move it all the way. Jim
