Columbia Q & B governor question

Post by Ronphono »

Curious .... are the governor weights on a Columbia Q the same/similar to what is used on a Columbia B "eagle"? Wondering if I can substitute as I'm having trouble finding weights for my B.

Thanks for feedback ....... also, if anyone have governor springs & especially the weights from a B / BX parts machine I would be appreciative to hear from you.

I measured the weights on a BX and four Q's. They all range somewhere between .550" & .562" diameter. Roughly speaking, they're all approx. 9/16" dia. Also, the governor springs are all 1.750" long between the screw holes.
