Winter riding and testing
1 Argo runs very well. I put a carb kit in one of them. Idles great but no power. Continue again today. -
Did you get it sorted? Sounds like the gov. is limited on pull,not revs.Originally posted by SteveReg View Postsigpic

is there a way of adjusting that? i see that there are 2 adjusting screws on the govenor lever. 1 is an adjusting screw fixed speed position 2 optional? the other is an adjusting screw variable speed position 1 standard. 1 only have this adjusting screw, not the optional one. maybe i need the optional adjusting screw? i did post another carb issue in a new thread in the engines forum i believe Jim.Comment

The lower(pos. 1) screw handles the upper end speed it is standard and needed, if you feel it is not turning 3600 rpm you could come out 1/8- 1/4 turn at a time til you hit 3600 ( a tach is recommended). Top screw is useless as it is for a fixed speed unit. If you have carb. problems for certain, fix that first. In the video it seemed when you manually forced the gov over it picked right up.
Previously you asked about the gov spring, it should be in 2nd lower hole.
Post a pic of the gov. side up as none of yours show it well and the glasses on video move to much.

I could be wrong but the spring on the gov. arm is not centered. Seems as if it's starving for fuel though spring could dump the throttle with too much tension.
Try this though, disc. fuel line, hook up a remote fuel line and can and have someone hold it higher than the engine, this will diagnose the fuel pump or flow to carb question if it goes away.
I know, you didn't ask about fuel flow.Last edited by ARGOJIM; 03-29-2015, 07:42 PM.sigpic

Thanks i will check the spring on the gov arm and will try the fuel line gravity feed although it is a new pump, they can fail. i had tried cranking over the engine with the fuel pump connected and it was pumping pretty good. want to check everything.Comment
