G9 Governor

whiteriver23 · 06-20-2013, 04:30 PM

I've been cranking the governor nut in, it's almost an inch tighter than it was when I started. Makes a noticeable difference in speed starting off then seems to level of. Am I doing any damage to the engine with the accelerator floored?
Thanks

Probably not yet. Alot of us have by-passed the gov. and connected the throttle cable directly to the carb. Now we have to worry about high RPM, and destroying the motor.

Run Full Synthetic-Oil. I think stock is 10w30,or even go up to 10w40,it makes a splash-lube engine a lot more durable.With the RPM increase,the extra protection is worth the few extra bucks.Hope this helps.

Thanks guys,
I think I'll back the nut off a couple turns on the governor
and change oil to the synthetic stuff. Don't think I need
the extra rpms by going directly to the carb, the engine
was supposedly overhauled before I bought it and I
don't really need to get anywhere fast, I'm old and
slow anyway!
Thanks again
