[AT] CA tractor with goofy governor--question

[Will Powell]

John;


You have to bend the rod from the governor to adjust the engine speed. I
remember when my father and I rebuilt our C. My father thought the
governor was set and had it revved up to about 3000 or more RPM....  I
told him that could not be right...

There is a spring that goes from the throttle linkage to the carb. You
will see that the rod has a small hole drilled into it for the spring.
You do not adjust that spring. I believe they are talking about the
spring on the governer but you do not alter the spring itself. Bend the
rod.

Regards;

My good neighbor has an AC CA tractor that runs great.  He just rebuilt
the 
lower end and I reconditioned the head for him.  Problem is it will not 
stop surging--at idle or under load.  Our books/manuals are very sketchy
at 
best on how to adjust the governor.  They say to adjust the spring
tension 
but they don't mention which springs or what tension in pounds!   We 
haven't found anything that works.  You can hold the throttle rod from
the 
governor and steady it up, but any little change of the throttle will
start 
it surging again.  Anybody with a CA that has had this problem--and
figured 
the solution?   John
