[QUOTE=captblue1;82002]So the stop pin holds the governor gear? Is it possible that the gear isnt connected to the stop pin and fell loose inside? If the shaft spins 360, than either theshaft is broken or the tab on the shaft isnt hitting the gear? Yes i have read both manuals but there isnt a very good picture of the assembly.[/QUOTE

How far out was the screw? And I doubt the gear fell off, you would probably have known about it if it did.

That is correct with the cross shaft. These are actually the big problem makers for the Governor not work and letting the motor over rev and blowing. Most of the failures are the metal arm falling off. They weren't welded well enough from the factory and sometimes have a tendency to break of simply fall off of the shaft. I think I have some pictures from my recent rebuild of my 128. I'll try to post a couple so you can get a good idea of what it looks like from the inside of the engine.
