Before I start, I have to say what works for me may not work for other people. As some of you know I am rebuilding the engine in my A/C B. The pin holes in the flyweights of my governor were well warn. I could ether buy a new assembly, buy a used assembly, or just fix it myself. I disassembled the governor and found that the guide pins were pressed into the geared part of the assembly. After knocking the pins out with a pin punch. Once removed, I measured the center area of the pin, that was pressed in. The pin measured .2495. I took a .250 hand reamer and reamed the holes out. I tried the pins in the holes, and they slid just fine. I placed a long .250 Diameter dowel pin in the assembly and noticed that the flyweights were warn (egged out or elongated) towards the front of the tractor. I placed the original pins into the assembly with the flyweights in place. Set the governor assembly so that the weights leaned forward. I put a drop of Loctite 609 on the edge of the pin and it “wicked” into the warn area of the flyweight. Loctite is not crazy glue. Loctite 609 has an operating temperature -65.0 - 300.0 °F. Motor oil will not affect it when cured. I allowed the Loctite to dry and then I flipped the governor over and placed another drop onto the other side of the pin. I let it sit overnight. The next day I went to move the flyweight. You know that it was stuck solid. But not too solid. I pressed on it with my thumb and moved the flyweight. I checked to see if the pin was moving along with the flyweight, and it was. So, the Loctite may have made its way into the area that I reamed, but there wasn’t enough to lock it solid. I spent a few minutes working the weight back and forth and now as I spin the assembly by hand, the weight moved back and forth under its own gravity. Next, I did the same thing to the other si I am very happy with the results, and I wanted to share them. Picture is shown without pin clips in place to show the wear on the flyweights. |
