Farmall H Governor Spring Length

Has anyone else had problems with the length of the after market governor springs? I was having trouble with the throttle on one of my H's. It would idle fine, but when I pulled on the throttle lever it would travel about half way through its movement before the engine speed would increase. I adjusted the governor as per the IH manual, but it still wasn't right. I finally pulled the spring from another H that was working correctly and swapped them. The throttle problem went away. I found there was a difference of about an 1/8" in the lengths of the springs. The longer spring I just purchased online. Seems to me there could be alot of "OEM" parts out there that are not in "SPEC". I have ordered a governor spring from Case/IH to see if it is any better.

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

you maybe able to fix that dead spot on the throtal under the hood on the head where leakage has springs on it with 2 nuts , them springs may also be so weak they dont work , have had that problem myself in the past , the new spring is stronger even if its longer, so them upper springs need to bottom out befor throtal will respond , also how worn is the shaft on the govener arm coming out of the back side. if its worn like most, factory settings wont cut it need to compensate for that slop ,ive restored lots of H"s & M"s and every one seems to have a differant fix to the problem , youll have to play around to get it right, have one now that works fine but doesnt respond like it should has me scratching my head tryed lots of different settings and still dont work the way youd like it to respond in the field , my H has a home made throtal shaft from head to steering post with new upper springs and lock collars so it can be adjusted anywhere on shaft , that one works great as soon as the engine even thinks it needs more it responds & with a saw tooth handle it changes RPM on every tooth like it should , it takes some time & some playing around but youll get it , check them upper springs thow
