I just put a new zenith carb (was the original holly) on my ford 3000. Fired up and runs fine other than when I was discing last weekend when it was put under load, the governor didn't kick it and add more power like it used to. It just sort of bogs down.
I had to lengthen the throttle to govern rod like 1/4 inch because it wouldn't reach the linkage. It had a threaded adjustment that just unscrewed to give it the little bit it needed.
I did also notice that at full throttle on the lever under steering wheel, it doesn't give as much fuel as it used to.
I was hoping to not have to mess with any screws on the carb.
Does this sound like a carb screw adjustment needed or some kind of adjustment on the throttle/governor ?
Whats interesting is when I connected the linkage, it was fairly tight and was wide open on the carb stop. But once cranked, it pulls back from against the stop.
I can move the governor rod with my hand once cranked to add fuel RPMs fine, but the throttle won't add any more fuel and the governor doesn't kick in under a load.
Thoughts ? Thanks..
