I recently have finished up the paint job on the 1250. However I’ve noticed the fuel petcock always leaked a little bit. Enough that in a week, the tank would be empty. So I removed the tank, and popped out the petcock. I will purchase a screw type one soon.
But for now, I’ve encountered another issue. When I started it it ran very very fast at idle. More than 3-4 open. I’ve taken a video of what I mean. When I throttle it up, the govenor arm does not move. Just barely. What needs done to fix this issue? And how much should the governor thing that screws in the rod and attaches to the carb throttle be screwed in? What needs done to fix this? It seems that the governor is springing the throttle nearly WOD even set at lowest speed on the throttle lever. Anyone who helps would be appreciated greatly. Thank you.
