I have 1937 WC. At some point it has been converted to battery ignition. The problem I have is my governor does not work. The throttle works, but the engine will slowly rev up. It is also possible to over rev it. When I want her to idle I have to pull the throttle all the way back several times. I pulled the front cover a couple years ago and the weights are in fine shape. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Joe

I'm no expert, but is the linkage to the cqrb set up properly? Should be a 1/16" (I think) gap where the rod crossing in front of the engine attaches to the rod that links to the carb. And there should be a dampening spring the connects from the latter rod to one of the manifold bolts. I know that this is a pretty rough description - you might want to search on this topic to get better advice.
