Ernie72 0 #3 Posted May 6, 2009 Thank you for the pic. The second page bottom left pic doen't need a spring? Is that correct. That pic looks like what I have. Thanks, Ernie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #4 Posted May 6, 2009 The top two and the bottom left pictures are of the same governor assembly that is used on most small K series engines. The (torsion-style) spring is attached to the back of the governor arm by a screw and the "loose" end slides into the slot in the control disc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian1045 28 #5 Posted May 6, 2009 The spring is connected to the disk... like in this pic. Attached Image Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ernie72 0 #6 Posted May 6, 2009 I understand I think what you are saying. There is a small spring on the back side of the govenor arm. With a small screw to the top right side were the govenor comes threw the block. I loosened the govenor arm and turned the shaft to the left while holding the gov. open. I done that with the engine off. Know what gap should the points be set at?? The motor kinda sams to have a load on it like it is out of time. I guess I could buy a timing light and check that. But is there a standard gap?? This is my first engine I built from scratch. Its pretty straight forward but these little things seam to make them run much better. And thanks for everyones help!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Ernie :drool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
