I am sorry if this topic has already been covered, but I spent about 30 minutes using the search function and came up pretty much empty handed, so if you know of a thread, please link me. I know this motor doesn't have a big following, but I'm sure there are a few out there.
So, my question involves the Governor arm. When I was a kid I don't ever remember having a governor hooked up on anything and I just recently read how one worked after looking at some of the engine failure threads. This engine is completely stock. I am not trying to build something to set land speed records and don't want parts flying every where. I have come up with a way to hook the throttle to the butterfly mech. on the carb., so if I leave the governor arm hooked up will it still work as a governor? The way I understand it as the engine speeds up, the governor would pull the throttle blade back, but if my throttle is manually pulling the butterfly wide open is the governor going to do anything? I know this is probably a really dumb question, but I want the bike to perform well and be safe.
Thanks for any input,
Jeremy
