Hi guys: Not sure if it is my governor or not. The 8N starts up fine but stays at the same RPM with no speed adjustment at all. The speed linkage is not broken and moves just fine but there is not change in RPM...Any advice would be super. Thanks so much
 
It Depends. Is your Governor a nnalert or a nnalert?

Alternatively, Does all of your throttle, carburetor and governor linkage move freely when pushed or pulled by hand? When running go manually move your governor
linkage where it attaches to the carburetor. You should feel some resistance as the governor responds to an increase in RPMs. If you feel no tension (movement) on
the linkage you have internal damage in the governor.
 
There is a spring just above the governor housing.

Is the spring there and intact?

When you move the dash lever, does that spring extend?

That is the governor spring, it's purpose is to pull the carb throttle open. If it's not there, or not applying force to the governor, the throttle will not open.

If it is there, and operating normally, but nothing is moving, disconnect the governor link from the carb throttle shaft, see if the throttle shaft is free to turn. It should turn effortlessly from idle stop to full open.

If the governor will still not move, the problem is internal with the governor. It will need to be removed, disassembled, and repaired.
