7.

Slide the governor shaft into the engine block from 
the inside of the engine.

8.

Carefully slide a new seal over the governor shaft 
and seat using a 1/4” deep well socket. See Figure 
4.63.

9.

Install the hair pin clip.

10.

Rotate the governor shaft so that the bent end is 
standing straight up. See Figure 4.64.

NOTE: 

If the governor shaft is not pointing up while sliding 

the sump on, the governor shaft will not catch the 
governor cup. This will prevent the governor from 
changing the engine rpm and usually presents as 
an over-speeding engine.

11.

Install the sump by following the steps described in 
Chapter 10: Disassembly.

12.

Rotate the governor shaft clockwise as far as it will 
go.

13.

Position the top of the arm about 3/16” (.476cm) from 
the boss on the casting that provides a mounting 
point for the fuel tank bracket.

14.

Install the governor arm by following the steps 
described in the previous section.

15.

Install the engine on the unit.

16.

Test run the engine and adjust the top no load engine 
RPMs by following the steps described in “Disassem-
bly and rebuilding the carburetor” section of this 
chapter.
