Skip Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Dan this is classic govenor problem Did you debur the shuttle following my instruction in the repair manual or did you just clean it off? you may want to get a boneyard unit and try it BTW you have a steel worm drive gear so very doubtful you have it apple cored. This happened to the nylon worm gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
