Re: Help!!!
I believe the governor to be working fine, it’s the springs I’m worried about. I’m so worried they will break without that grease

Does it have the old grease in it? Or none at all?PeanutTheRabbit wrote:I believe the governor to be working fine, it’s the springs I’m worried about. I’m so worried they will break without that grease

Forgive my being stressed out. It’s my first machine and I’ve always wanted one. I’m desperate to have this in a condition where I can use it without fear of breaking it

Re: Help!!!
I don’t blame your fear of breaking it. It’s my fourth year in this hobby and I’m sending my motor for my VV-VIII out for repairs after my disastrous attempt of taking the motor apart and cleaning it. Thankfully I stopped before I broke more things on it lol. I said some stuff that would make a sailor blush that night. Ooh boy.PeanutTheRabbit wrote:Forgive my being stressed out.

I know there is also Ron Sitko but he does not have a website so you have to do it old school with him. I may buy a crank for my VIII since it takes a specific crank from him.
