ive been working on a friend of mines mccormick deering 15-30. so i go out to it, clean the points clean the plugs, put some some gas in it etc. and with a little ether she fires right up, but it wont come off idle. so we take apart the governor linkage and realize that the governor is trying to turn the the throttle the wrong way, thus keeping it closed. so i assumed somone had installed the throttle plate the wrong way. but i took the carburetor apart and found that it is cast in such a way that the rotation of the throttle shaft cannot be changed. so im back to the drawing board, and im very confused, the motion in the governor cant be changed, and the rotation of the throttle cant be changed. would somone please help me, im pullin my friggin hair out here.
