I figured as long as the Honda GXH50 has a governor I would use it.
My logic being as you hit a rise and the engine slows, the governor would open the butterfly and try to maintain the RPM. Kind of a cruse control?
The linkage was easy, but with the spring from the speed lever (now operated by the throttle) to the governor at a minimum, the engine idles higher than the kick in point of the GruBee clutch.
As the transmission all but covers the governor linkage, it is hard to see if it is adjustable?
Don't want to remove the transmission unless there is something to be gained.
Pride would like to make it work. Practice says go direct to the throttle plate with the cable and forget the governor.
Anyone here that has made the governor work?
