Sent my carb off to Alpha Tractor and had it rebuilt. The tractor ran OK but thought I would do all I could to make it like new.I did not mess with the adjustments on the governor at all, I simply took the two rods off(choke and Governor) and unbolted the carb, got it back and cannot get any RPMS out of the motor at all unless I manually move the governor rod. When I move the throttle it does not make any difference. The only thing that was changed was the carb. Rods are back exactly as they were. Talked to the guys at Alpha and he said that if the throttle rod on the butterfly moves easy something is wrong with my governor but I did not mess with any thing on the governor, rods or otherwise.It almost acts like its working backwards. I had help from a guy who is no dummy on tractors(mostly fords) and we had no success. Any help(literature or your personal info) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Lance

Lance you didn't say if it worked before you removed the carb ? Hard to tell without that info. John

Clean John- Yes the carb was working pretty good when I removed it, I thought I said that but was some what in shock when I wrote the posting. Again ,all I did was disconnect the two rods to the carb and unbolt it. When I got it back it will not rev up unless you work the governor rod by hand. Moving the lever on the dash moves the everthing it should but no rpm's. Lance

Lance if you advance the governor rod by hand do you feel it work against you when the rpm comes up? ? If not you have a problem in the Gov. a spring broke or a problem with the internal linkage . pull the plate off the governor box and have a look ---no big deal --if you wreck the gasket just make a new one. Its not a complicated governor to work on. Let us know what fell out of place ? John

John, yes ! the rod does work against your hand and pretty darn strong too. when you crank the engine it starts right up without choking it at all.(it is warm weather here in the 80's) The motor sets there and barely idles and the governor rod works a little back and forth and the engine lopes with it.If I extend the governor rod out,I mean make it longer by screwing out the attaching fork, the engine will idle faster but still does not rev up with acccelerator handle. As I. said the only thing that is different or has been changed is the carb. This is the carb that was on it .I sent it to them to rebuild and they did sent the same one back to me I am pretty sure of that.I cannot help but wonder if the location of the arm on the outside of the carb where the governor rod hooks up is in the wrong position

Its possible that they had the throttle shaft link off and got it turned around . From what I understand it works when you control it so it may be the problem.I think that link is pinned on the shaft with a very small (1/16 th) pin been a while since I had an A so this is from an old geezers memory.You might take the throttle rod loose at the gov. end and see if it feels like the spring is working. (The rod from the hand throttle lever) ! John

yes there is that small pin in the shaft. It(the lever that the governor hooks on and connected to the rod hooks on) points down now. if I rotate it to the up position I am not sure what would happen.I am kinda and old machinst and die maker so I should be able to do this . But do not know yet what would change in the idle screw location. I Will take that rod off and check the spring.Will get back to you asap Don't leave me this old geezer needs your help Lance
