governor not in time

So, I"m fixing up a tractor (IH-424) that I picked up and have somehow got the governor out of time. The tractor starts and runs good untill I put a load on it and it"s pretty evident the governor is not working now. Can anyone tell me how to get it back in time? When I put the new electronic ignition in; I went to change the leaking valve cover and discovered a broken push rod. Upon replacing the rod and adjusting the valve train I basically got the timing all messed up and had to start from scratch. Now my 424 runs good, but the governor is not kicking in
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You, Dusty
 
Governor IS timed to carb, in the respect that the linkage needs to be adjusted so that the carb butterfly reaches the end of it's rotation in the WOT direction JUST BEFORE the end of travel of the governor arm.
 
The governor should be timed, but that is to the crank/camshaft not the carburetor. If you have battery ignition, mis-timing can be compensated for in the battery ignition unit. If you have a magneto (unlikely on a 424), timing needs to be right.

The linkage between the governor and carburetor needs to be ADJUSTED for it to work right. A bunch of people (mainly on this site) keep refering to this adjustment as "timing" the governor. That is both wrong and misleading. I could comment more on adjusting the linkage but I need to go out and time my rear tires to a set of cultivators so I don't run over the corn.
