Wayne do you know if the handle on the right is to throttle it up or throttle it down. Is there one on yours.

Throttle down . as the weight opens as rpm's increase the shaft in the center is rised , pulled up , and the right lever moves down . therefor slowing down the engine .
Just mt opinion , Mike B

Sweet sweet music when the log hits the saw blade and the governor kicks in on a steam engine, and it starts popping.
