[Farmall] 656 governor surging

[Rupert]

Hello Barney,
	Thanks for your reply.
	Do you mean the adjustment screw that sets the maximum the governor can 
open the throttle? Or, the fine thread bolt near the bottom on the back?
	I only see one spring that goes between the bellcrank and the governor 
level on mine. If you have a digital camera, would you mind taking a 
picture showing the anti-surge spring on yours?
