SA 200 03-13-2012 20:25:18 68.149.42.239 Report to Moderator	Sounds like you just need the governor linkage adjusted. One of the best places for service or advice is Bill's Welder Repair. Just Google them and send an e-mail to Kaye. Governor adjustment might be linked on their web site and if not, it's most likely on Lincoln's web site. Your machine should have an electronic idler and the green light indicating good oil pressure. I had some questions about my 1961 SA 200 and Kaye got back to me pretty quick. You could also ask on the tool talk forum. Puddles has 5 SA 200's and counting.   [Reply]  [No Email]
