Governor pads in the US are mostly leather, in Europe they seem mostly made from felt.soundgen wrote:? governor pads are usually felt are they not ? or are we talking about something else ? does this motor have a worm gear ? I doubt it , perhaps you could post pictures ? it probably has a vertical governor and the problem is the gear at the bottom of the governor , Judicial use of thin washers can present a new part of the gear to the intermediate gear making it work properlywalser wrote:The brake pad usually is made of leather but sometimes I've seen felt pads.
Regarding the wormgear, post some pictures to see the extent of the damage. Its very important to have a clean and stright wormgear or it will destroy the fibre gear.
