family tradition 0 #2 Posted May 4, 2011 had to pull the engine apart cuz the govenor shaft broke . and had to take the stuff out of the oil pan . put the motor back together without the govenor and it runs but sounds like its out of timing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,945 #3 Posted May 4, 2011 Are you going to run it without the governor? It's going to be tough to keep the speed under control. Do you have a copy of the K-Series service manual? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
