Yeah I watched that video...that pin is not going back in. That's crazy the damage they can do.

Okay guys, Update time...I found a diagram from Onan on the flyball cup travel that says replace the center pin OR machine down the protruding cup hub to reach the desired measurement. I went with option two as I had nothing to loose. I went slow and measured it installed several times until I...

Yes I understand that the pin goes there to keep the cup from turning. I just checked gear face to pin and I have 17/32...now this makes sense as to why no adjustment outside made any difference. The balls can't move out. We're onto something here. However I have no idea where I can get a...

Well, I do have it apart and waiting on a gasket so I have the time to drill it. Besides that I still dont see this pin causing the engine to rev to redline because the flyballs and cup will still come forward and push the governor arm even if that pin is not there. I have noticed that my cup...

You don't say...I opened it up today and look what I found. Look at that pin just laying there...

There is probably a lot more to this story as I am the guy that gets to discover everything the guy who took it apart did. It acts like the flyball cover does not come forward enough to turn the shaft coming out of the cover. I do know that fork that rides on the cover to turn the shaft can be...

When the machine starts it does not attempt to push the arm down at all, in fact it seems to pull it to wide open when in the run position before starting and then it stays there when it starts. It will move freely by hand so it's not stuck in that position. I will review the manual to verify...

I'm not pulling out the cable at the throttle adjust end, at the control box. I'm letting the cable out above the oil filter., making it longer. I could take it off and it would make no difference. The only speed I get without manually holding it back is blow up speed.

I'm trying to adjust (lower) the rpm on the generator. It is a running unit and will start right up and head for redline rpm until I can get to the governor linkage and hold it at any speed I want. If I let this governor go I believe the engine would rev until it blew up. I have adjusted the...
