If you follow the diagrahms at that link you'll be installing the
govenor spring link BACKWARDS.
The short wire section of the link goes into the lower hole on the
govenor control arm not the spring.
Insert the wire through the front of the hole and the spring goes onto
the throttle link arm on the throttle plate assembly.

If the spring is stretched out it'll need to be replaced.
Stretched out springs don't allow for proper throttle play and can
cause dips or dives in govenor function.

If the spring is stretched replace it. Proper tension and spring
length is importnt for proper govenor function as well as smooth
throttle control.

Thanks to all.

Your college physics is correct. It is always the case that these things

either don't work or there is some unaccounted for source of energy.
Usually there is fraud involved.

I have a 3 year old Gateway computer with monitor and for the past few
weeks at various times the monitor screen shrinks to where I can not
see the toolbar. It is all black on the bottom and about an inch above
there is a translucent 3D 1 inch wide bar that goes across the screen.
The screen slightly flutters when it's in this state. It happens from
time to time and sometimes goes back to normal itself. Other times I
have to restart the computer. What could this be? Could my monitor be
on the way out? Might there be some electrical interference nearby?
Does anyone have any ideas?

If it happens from time-to-time, it is most likely bad solder connections
somewhere in the deflection circuitry. Gently whacking the monitor will
probably induce it or fix it, which would confirm the diagnosis. Get it
repaired before the monitor ends up dead.

I think "Hanlon's Razor", ie, "Never attribute to malice that which
is adequately explained by stupidity"* is a more-logical
explanation here, if we regard trolling as malicious and think of
ignorance/boneheadity/laziness/wrongheadedness as akin to stupidity.
It seems to me that Darren Harris has rejected out of hand most
suggestions because he failed to understand them.

For me, your suggestion that he use a 120Hz clock implies that you
don't know what you're talking about.

Considering that the OP has specified that: "It must to be accurate
to within 1/60th of a second over the course of 6 hours."

means that, since there are 3600 seconds in an hour there will be
21,600 seconds in six hours, and since he wants to split the seconds
into 60 slivers each, there will be 1,296,000 slivers in six hours.

Since he states that the accuracy must be _within_ 1 sliver, that
means he needs an accuracy of one part in 1,296,000. Looking at it
from a different perspective, that's an accuracy of +/- 0.000038580%.

Now, what was it you were saying about that 120Hz clock?

I'm not the one trolling here.

You certainly appear to be trolling.

None of that had to do with the original question which was for a
timer. And that's all.

Your original question was fully answered several times, as were
your followups where you kept adding details that you left out.

Please read this:

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

I've got all of the answers I could get here.

I am no fan of the usual flamewars and topic drift here, but in
this case the fault is 100% yours. You won't get a good answer
anywhere else unless you read the above website and start following
the advice in it.

Followups set. If you don't know what that means, find out.

Hi;

This set has way too much history. Another shop had it and fixed the PS
or whatever and it's got HV, but no video, OSD or sound.

I changed the SSB and got luck/unlucky. I now had OSD, tuning and sound
but only a slight shadow of video. Hmmm. The set had taken a power
surge from what I'd heard, so who knows. I started to poke around and
found that I had forgotten to plug the ribbon from the PIP board to the
SSB. Plugged it in and expected a picture but no good, no OSD either,
just raster.

What that means is that the PIP board is blowing the SSB somehow. I
have no print (scary huh).

What I'm after is if anyone who works on these knows of something
likely to be repairable on the SSB. Gimme a tip that works and I think
I can get the company to send you a check for ?the cost of the SSB
because our only alternative is to buy another one.

Thamks in advance.

You've probably overlooked the fact that on this side
of the equator the polarity is reversed.

Just put the batteries in other way around and you'll
be OK

Ken,
I'll give that a shot, do I have to install the batteries upside down too?

The best you can achieve in a car is to use the car's own kinetic
energy to partially recharge its batteries when the car is coasting,
or to use the car's kinetic energy to assist in braking.
