Ed,

I do have the manual, it states to lengthen the rod to the governor to lower the idle. I did this and it did indeed lower the idle, but it also lowered the max rpm. I was able to get it to idle at 400, but the max was around 1700. I met in the middle and went with 700 and 2100.

I added 2.5 degrees of advance, it did indeed help. I noticed at low rpm take off in higher gear and pulling a load up hill. I might see what another couple does, I'll listen for detonation.

Also, is there a way to search the topics?
