 Bolting governor hole question I have a 1/2 13 tap that I'm going to use to thread the hole for the governor. It seems to be about the correct size. My question is, besides loctite should I use some RTV at the shoulder of the bolt? Also, is there anything else I should know?

Re: Bolting governor hole question No need to tap it, most just put a bolt through it with a nut and lock washer or nylon lock nut and washer with rvt. But, it you going to tap, yes, just rvt sealant should work.

Re: Bolting governor hole question I've seen it both ways. I figured tapping it would prevent the risk (although slight) of the nut getting loose.

Re: Bolting governor hole question Just cut the flipper off the shaft and stick the shaft back in.

Re: Bolting governor hole question Make sure you take the governor gear out of the inside of the block when you’re in there.

Re: Bolting governor hole question I just left the paddle shaft with the keeper clips inside and out. Cut the paddle off so it's a straight shaft and pull the governor stuff out of the inside of the engine. Been working fine on my time bomb.

Re: Bolting governor hole question Pull it. You'll notice when you have it apart the gov gear and the weights just pop right off with a bit of pressure. Maybe use a screwdriver to pry it off.

Re: Bolting governor hole question There we go. It is off. It faught it and faught it and then all of a sudden slid off with ease.
I saw a video on line where it lifted off pretty easy, but mine took a little bit more effort. Not being familiar with it I didn't want to force it.

Re: Bolting governor hole question If it’s a 35 but no mikuni, be prepared to put on an additional spring that didn’t come on the stock carb and throttle assembly.
