154 Governor adjustment
Posted: Sun May 28, 2006 11:20 am
Does someone have a better explaination of the governor and idle speed adjustments for the C-60?
I have a 154 and cannot get over 1900 RPM out of it. In the service manual it says 2450 +-25 RPM.
The governor never kicks in when the tractor is under load, it will kill (if bogged enough) with no attempt at increasing the engine speed no matter what position the throttle is in.
It has far, far less governor cross shaft play than my 49 Cub (which works fine) so I don't think that's the whole problem.
I went thru the service manual instructions and attempted to adjust the governor linkage, low idle screw on carb, max speed stop screw and the
governor spring screw but it had no effect. I am using a Milton auto tach gauge set on 4 cyl. to check RPM.
I had not messed with the idle mixture screw as I felt it was not important until the others were right.
Any ideas???
