Well, keep a close eye on the voltage output. In my experience when the voltage goes up to 320, that typically means one or more of the 3 transistors on the VR is going bad. In the past I would normally replace all 3 transistors, but now @kloppk offers a sweet replacement VR that drops right...

Definitely good to hear you have it running good again. As CB said, I have to wonder if bending the arm is compensating for something else being out of whack. Reason I say that is 1) there's little chance that the arm got bent while in use in your possession and 2) one of the specific pictures I...

Nice job on the pin. Did you put a little gasket maker on it to prevent an oil leak?

The TM says "Smooth side" towards the governor flyball cover. By smooth side I believe they mean the curved side, as that would minimize any friction.

Jeeze, can't believe still no smoking gun! as C.B mentioned, make sure the lever arm is moving freely and no slop anywhere. In it's current state the cover on the flyball assembly should be free to move smoothly in and out and should rotate smoothly. ( Although in operation the cover is held...

Do you happen to have an air hammer? I would also try hitting the puller bolt ( while tightened ) and / or the blower wheel hub with an air hammer and a blunt chisel. I've found that vibration can help loosen frozen parts better than brute force sometimes.

Jeeze, you're doing it right, but you seem to have a real stubborn one! I've never needed to add any heat and do it a similar way. Only difference is I made a small block of 1/2" tool steel with a 1/2" fine thread hole in the center and 2 holes for the grade 8 bolts, but otherwise same concept...

I started up an 002 tonight and did the same thing as in your video. My governor is much, much faster to react when I both increase or decrease the throttle and the reaction is far more forceful than what I see in your video. If I rev it up a little, it takes less than 1/2 a second for the...

Agreed on all facets... Its back to vibrating excessively ( not due to excessive RPM ).... the governor seems very slow to react and the engine also seems a little slow to respond to changes in throttle position as well. The other thing to note is that I assume you still have the throttle lever...

Very informative video. It seems like now the throttle isn't bouncing all over the place like before, but for some reason the throttle is very slow to react. The other issue I see is that the Governor arm is not attempting to increase fuel flow when you push the lever down. Please do another...

The more I think about this issue, the more I think there's an issue internal to the governor assembly. To increase engine speed, the throttle cable pulls on the lever ( #15) which increase tension on the spring ( #11 ) The more spring tension, the harder it is for the governor flyweights to...

Here's a link to the thread I was thinking about. It explains the purpose of that pin as far as holding the governor flyball housing from rotating. If the cover rotates, it won't push out properly as RPM's rise and therefore will not press down on the Governor linkage properly...

Search around here more, there was recently a post where a member had catastrophic engine failure due to that pin coming out and falling into the timing gears. I believe he ended up repairing things and threaded the hole in his replacement cover and made a new pin that was threaded on the end...

C.B is correct. That's what I'm talking about. The other thing that bothers me is the bouncing up and down of the throttle lever / Governor arm as well as the fact that the governor arm is not attempting to lower the throttle arm despite the RPM's climbing higher and higher. The higher the...

So the biggest "problem" I see is that the lever that the throttle cable and governor spring attach to are definitely all the way back in the "Idle" position, therefore the engine should currently be running at minimum RPM, ( less than 55 Hz. ) not wide open throttle like it is. Since this...

When you take pics of the governor and throttle cable, also get a picture of the arm that the cable attaches to relative to the bracket it's mounted to. That arm should be essentially 90* straight out , perpendicular to the centerline of the engine block. Also try to get a picture of where the...

To me it looks like the governor attempts to lower the engine speed just after startup ( right when the linkage goes from full up to about 1 1/2" space between the solenoid and the linkage. The governor for some reason seems to have no effect on engine speed. Can you manually lower the RPM with...

That is possible, if the volt meter is up around 300+ volts ( when in 120/240 mode ) and you can't adjust it down with the panel knob, that's a sure sign that you smoked 1 or more of the 3 transistors on the VR. If so, you can replace the transistors, or KKlopp makes a super nice, modern, drop...

In post #10 I'm talking about #5, which is the orange paper thin plastic ring you just installed. BTW, you installed it correctly, that's the way I have always done it. Slide it onto the body of the delivery valve assembly (#4 ) Then stick it into the main body.
