Hello all, After 4 years of occassional work and a flurry in the past month, the F-20N project I have been working on and many of you have helped with advice on reached a big milestone today. It runs!!! And it runs very nicely! I have several things still to work on, some of them major, but this was a major good day. As far as the things I have to work on: 1. Governor seems to be very finicky. I found a nice running speed, but if I move it up one notch, it seems to go out of control. Any ideas? 2. Magneto (new and works great on my other F-20) - very small sweet spot in terms of where the spark retard where she will run 3. Now for the biggie - It drove around fine in one forward gear, but would totaly bog down and not move if I tried any other gear. At the end, when put in neutral, the gear shift went easy to move and will not shift into any gear, but seems to be stuck in one of the ones where it will not move. I had the gear shift off at one point a couple years ago. Is it possible I did not put it back on right? Any suggestions for getting it out of the gear, and for getting the problem resolved? Thanks, Tony

If you had the lid off with the shifting forks it would be pretty easy to get it back without getting one or more of the forks in the grove in the gera where it belongs. Which governor do you have. The original governor with linkage to the front of the carburetor throttle control on the left side is a non variable speed governor and won't work like a modern tractor. They wre designed to run wide open and govern at about 1300 rpm. Congratulations! I want to see pictures Tony.
