For grins I tore it down the night before the giant snowstorm.
I found a bunch of broken parts in the oil sump. The oil slinger broke off and the governor threw two counter weights & broke a few teeth of the gear. So, when did it break?
The main shaft seems to have wiped but it's not totally gone. If I can get replacement parts I will reassemble it and see if I can get it to speed regulate again. The smaller shaft with the larger gear is the cam shaft. There are two cams that operate the intake and exhaust valves.
Now I have to check the forums to see if this is how the timing marks are aligned. I sure do hope that I don't need this thing to be running tomorrow because I don't know if I can improvise the oil slinger and I don't want to run without a governor.
