For some reason the individual that I got it from the arm that sticks out from the desk at 9 o'clock was standing up at 12 o'clock so here I am trying to fix everything that I live in and I can't for the life of me get it dialed in could NAB I'll post pictures of y'all's governor throttle linkage and everything. You know the throttle linkage cable you have the corrugated tube and then a solid wire coming out of it from the arm that's sticking out to the left how many bumps of the linkage cable is sticking out if that makes any sense. 14 hours ago, WH nut said: Was your governor shaft tab broken?
