Thanks for the link.
I am pretty sure that it is not meant to be adjusted on the motor.
None of those things would fit, its in a hell of a spot.
The 1/4 drive wont fit though the slot in the air cleaner base.
The 90 deg screwdriver wouldnt work as you need to get a full 45 deg swing to get another bite at it.
That ratchet type setup would probably work if you could get it in through the hole but i doubt you would.
I suppose the deal would be to have a modified metal cover so you could get access.
I had thought about removing the air cleaner housing and fiddling while running, but that sort of takes away from what I am trying to achieve. It needs to be right with the restriction of the air cleaner and its housing.
Nothing wrong with the vane pivot. The one I stripped (broken rod) had the number 6 type.
I think the issue is cable drag.
Item 17 does not have that many teeth, a slot for choke, then a slot further back for high speed antoher for low. If you pull the cable full forward to choke it is stretching the govenor spring. I am sure that if the cable was light, the govenor spring would pull back on the throttle lever and get it to notch in the high speed position.
Perhaps the tennant spring was something along these lines. Perhaps its the reason the cap let go on the rod too. Theres a bolt and a half in the sump. Bore and piston are fine. There is some damage in the crankcase, will need to strip it. Some bits busted off the bottom of the crank case breather setup by the look of it. I should be able to rebuild it, but dont have a carb etc.
This motor has been sidelined again. Pulled the blade plate off it and its a short shaft with a long boss on it.
So the motor would be for a Victa or a SB or the like.
Might be going in the mini hot rod i want to build.
The carb less motor has real good compression, spark, and the right length shaft for the Commercial Supaswift base I had picked out. So I will rip the head off and look inside, check the valve clearances. Then clean up that carb etc and get it together.
