"My main concern is the engine oil pressure reads around 40+ lbs at gauge while oil level is a little low but still within safe range on dipstick. thought it was around 50 lbs at the start of operation 2 hours earlier "
40 psi after running for two hrs is great! Need top change that oil and filter. Most here use 15w40.
" Or rather I think the governor maybe the carb although he also stated he rebuilt carb.The engine will not rev up until the throttle is pulled all the way down to it's furthest point and then seems to not hold the speed/rpm when going up a small hill with no load and while pulling a brush hog not attached via the driveline and thus not not operating either."
To check the gov, hand goose the throttle while the tractor is running. Manually move the gov to carb. The gov should fight back.
Have you got the correct manuals? The I&T FO4 manual and a users manual are a must.
