Tony Brooks Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 So you probably flushed any swarf out. Its interesting to note that a glob of water can stop these hydraulic governors working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les trickett Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Used a plunger screw for stripped idling screw. Tapped the govenor housing in my case 10mm because someone else had put an helicoil in that failed. The plunger spring tension can be changed with the little grubscrew in the top. I used a doughty washer and a locking nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
