I had to replace fan assembly and radiator on my 1964 cub. Now that I have it back together the governor engages and kills tractors whenever I try to engage clutch and put in gear. I checked linkage and seems to be free of any binding. I did not touch governor during process. Any clues to what I should check?

Does the tractor respond to throttle setting changes by the lever? Is the linkage to the carb free?

governors keep an engine at a specific RPM, set by the position of the throttle lever. (actully a governor control lever. If the engine is stalling, when the clutch is pushed in, it may be a carb issue (lean operation) causing the stoppage. Try using the choke about 1/4 to 1/2 out and see if it runs. If so it may be a plugged up carb passage. Jim
Janicholson prior to radiator fan replacement I was having to use choke to help it run so carb is looking like the answer. Tractor is at weekend place so it will be few weeks before I can check. Do you suggest a carb rebuild kit or just pull jets etc to see if I can find blockage?

I would try the spray can into the jets and passages after the removal of the bowl while on the tractor first. Then if it still is easily stalled when throttling up, I would use a kit, and soak the carb in the dunking type of cleaner. I do not think there is a connection between the radiator replacement, and the governor. Make sure the carb linkage is free to move and opens the carb fully when the governor rod is pulled to full throttle. Jim
