I have a farmall h that has not ran for several years and am trying to get it going soaked carb and cleaned very good and put complete carb repair kit in got running. Starts and runs good but very poor throttle response. Looked at govenor and found binding throttle linkage fixed linkage problem and syncronized carb to govenor per tech manual trying to set high and low idle speeds per manual but very hard to get set. Seems like it either idles or wide open have to move throttle half way before tractor starts to speed up. Removed distribitor and checked for broken advance springs or stuck advance wheights noiticed dis springs are two different ones should they be this way and where can a person find new ones. Also looked at govenor brs and thrust washer all look ok and everything is free noticed when throttle at idle wheights are bolth free and I can wiggle them on pivot pins not like holes worn out just in and out a little like I belive they should but if throttle is wide open I can wiggle one wheight a little and the other one is tight dose anyone have any advice for dis or govenor Thanks
 
first of all is the throttle shaft on carb matched correctly to the governor shaft.? gotta make sure the tab goes in the right spot.
 
The throttle shaft is matched up to the govenor shaft I unpined govenor linkage and set low speed ungovorned idle carb adjustment
 
One other thing you might check is the linkage rod where it meets the bracket bolted to the head. That block and pin that has the springs on each side (the assembly lets you adjust the throttle (governor)control arm position)will sometimes gouge out a spot on the linkage rod and stick. Although from your description, it sounds like you have more than a sticky linkage.

The H governor is a pretty easy rebuild, although it can be pricey depending on what you need. The weight pins are a common problem and if you can wiggle the weighs a little on the pins as you say they need to be replaced. These are still available from your IH supplier at a reasonable price. You may find that the weights are worn as well - these are also available from the dealer, but sit down before they tell you the price. I think that the last set I bought for a friend was $125. I would also recommend that you put in new bushings and maybe the bearing as well since you have it apart. You can get these cheap at any bearing house.

I think the thing that fakes people out when they check the governor is that they detect only a little slop in the parts and think that such a small amount of movement can"t have such a big impact on the throttle response, but it sure does. If you rebuild yours, you"ll be amazed at the difference you"ll see.
