jimt1971 236 #1 Posted August 1, 2012 Hello All, I am working on my pulling tractor. I am getting stuck on how to hook up a gas pedal. i have looked online and I cannot find anything. Right now I have the pedal hooked to the same spot you would normally put the thottle cable. But when i start the engine the governer over rides my gas pedal. Would someone have a pic or two of how to do this? Thanks, Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #2 Posted August 1, 2012 If nobody beats me too it I'll get you some pictures this weekend. In the meantime can you post pictures of what you did to hook it up? Maybe we can troubleshoot it from a picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SALTYWRIGHT 859 #3 Posted August 1, 2012 ON MY RAT ROD I DO NOT USE THE GOVERNER. I HOOKED UP THECABLE TO THE CARB. ARM. IT WORKS MUCH BETTER WITHOUT THE GOVERNER HOOKED UP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deere Hunter 54 #4 Posted August 1, 2012 When you say it is over riding the pedal, Is it pulling it back to idle or at what RPM is it holding? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimt1971 236 #5 Posted August 1, 2012 What happens is I push the pedal and the governer springs over rides. So, I get a quick burst of speed and then it is back to idle. I will have to take pics tonight. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimt1971 236 #6 Posted August 2, 2012 Ok I got out to the garage tonight. I ended up removing the spring from the governer arm and replacing with a piece of rod. Now I have full throttle. Life is good. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #7 Posted August 2, 2012 Your governor won't work now. If you run in a governed class, you're illegal now. If you need your governor to be legal, then use a stiffer spring or use a different set of holes to make the governor spring tighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimt1971 236 #8 Posted August 2, 2012 Ok Jim I will find a stiffer spring. At least now the gas pedal works. This tractor just seems to be a machine that likes to be tinkered with all the time. I knew if I went straight to the carb I would be illegal also. Well more garage time. Thanks for all the help. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimt1971 236 #11 Posted August 5, 2012 Jim, I saw your pic and went outside and hooked mine the same way and viola the throttle now works with the governoer. Jim this was awesome info. Even though it is still in primer I will be tring to pull in the next few weeks. I pulled before but it was with my regular old Raider. this is my first try at a dedicated pulling tractor. It is a 312, with a 16hp single and Carlisle 23X10.50X12 Tru Powers. I hope it does good for me. Thank you all for your help, Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
