[AT] CA tractor with goofy governor--question

[Bruce Fallon]

My CA has a spring in a hole in the middle of the shaft running to the carb 
that hold tension against the governor it is not very big or high tension 
but when it is disconnected the governor sure searches or surges.  It just 
attaches to a point on the manifold I believe.

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
