Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) governor lever adj.

[mullady76]

The other day I tried to set the height of the governor lever in my 180hp pump with a #6 plate in it. The directions at Peirs site say to have the shut off selonod in the on position, which i did. The problem is that the governor lever never touched the plate. It was about 3/16" away. When I moved the throttle linkage it would touch. I set the height while holding the throttle open so the lever touched the cam plate, but now the truck hesitates for a second then takes off. Is there a problem with my pump or maybe the linkage needs to be adjusted?

Did you turn the screw in the right direction? and Peirs told me to hold the solinoid up by hand to adjust it ... ... sound like it getting hung up under the first ridge... ...
