I did the governor mod recently and now my throttle isn't working. I'm guessing the splines on the throttle shaft aren't down far enough. Is there a trick to make sure I get it right?
you have it off a spline too far one way or the other. starts up real nice and all it does is idle? i did this once. just moved it one spline and now it rips.
That's exactly right. I'll try and move it over in a bit.
Is there a trick to make sure I get it right?
Yep. Mark it all up carefully before dismantling!
Don't worry, I and many others have made the same mistake
lots of people do that on their first gov mod.
Could I possibly move it over while the engine is running to make sure I get it right without having to do this several times?
I wouldn't . With the gov. assembly spinning it will be weighted and hard to move it nice and easy...or at all.
Thanks to all for the input. I now have a working throttle! IC piping, a seat, and I'll have a car!
Just to finish the story for those watching, I turned the throttle shaft CCW until it met resistance, then installed the springs and arms. Perfect.
