Spring on the L Speed Regulation Arm

[Sherazhyder]

Question- The two brass bearings at both ends do have a slot in the middle? Answer: Only one of the brass bearings has a slot or a tiny hole.

Question- If there is one with the slot, it should be placed at the worm end of the governor axis. Answer: In my case the bearing with a slot is on the brake plate side of the governor. It was on this side when I acquired this motor.

Question-Spindle and its brass gear that goes to the governor worm gear: when you loosen the set screw of that gear so you can slide it along the spindle, do you see a round notch? If yours has this feature, it is intended to fix the position of the gear in the spindle, as the notch is for the set screw to set into it. so this should not be modified. Answer: Yes there is a notch.

Thank you very much for caring to write a detailed note for helping to align the governor.

Be careful, as the slot on the brass bearing all around the cylinder in referring to is intentionally made at the factory. A tiny hole is different, it could have been made by the user when screwing the brass bearing on place, so it means nothing but a previous user's adjusmentr that could be wrong. But these are distinguishable at sight, for notches or slots made at the factory are deep and clear, corresponding to a machined feature.
If your gov bearings don't have slots it means you can adjust them at any desired position and so modify the speed regulation system adjustment a bit by this way. When there is the slot, the gov position is fixed

Hi Inigo ! The bearing on the brass plate end (brake side) of the governor does have a slot. Are you suggesting that this bearing should be on moved to the worm side of the governor ?

Yes, as it is intended to fix the governor position, and the pressure is on the worm side, where the spindle gear pushes the worm in the governor, in that direction you need to retain the force with the slot on the set screw of that bearing.

Thank you dear friend! I will do it.
