Hi All,

Would anyone have a spare Victor lead governor weight they could sell me?

The diameter is 17 mm, or 43/64", and the back where the spring goes is recessed. I only need one weight.

Thank you!

Oliver

Oliver,
Try Ron Sitko in the links section. He will have what you need. You probably want to replace all springs/weights with a matched set. Small variations caused by partial replacements will make the motor run less smooth. Ron will have a full set for not much money.
Good luck with your machine!
Matt

Victor governor weights are brass (early), or steel. Not lead.
