After replacing the vacuum advance and setting the timing it works fine. be sure to check the vacuum advance on the distributor to see if it is leaking and also the centrifugal advance in the base of the distributor. If the timing is wrong it will not respond as it should. When you move the throttle lever it has to move the spring connected to the governor rod which is connected to the carb butterfly. What happens when the throttle lever is moved? My book does not show the internal of the governor but maybe the dealer has a exploded view you could look at, might be a spring missing in there. If anything I think the oil should be thin so there is less resistance as the weights try to close. good luck</p></blockquote><p></p>
