My 212 grader doesn't have the governor installed on the pony. Will the diesel, once starting pinion is being engaged, bog the pony down, and stall the pony out? I'm having the pony carb rebuilt at the moment, so I am in a holding pattern, and just curious if I need to search for a governor. Thanks as always!

I have been starting my D311 on my D2 for years without a governor on the pony--I just make sure I have half throttle when i engage the pinion and then increase the throttle a little before I throw the decompression lever

Without a governor you will be as busy as a one armed paper hanger! At the very least you will need a very easily and conveniently movable throttle.
D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time😄

I have 2 spare governors, NOT rebuilt. If you want one and willing to pay the shipping I will send you one. PM me.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
