Jeff's 727 rebuild thread
Glad to hear you're back on your feet again Jeff. I've been battling against flu the past few days. Really knocked me out.
Well there is not really that much to the govenor. Just the govenor valve itself, the shaft & the inner & outer weight. Obviously all components must move freely in the housing. Scotch Brite & a blast of brake cleaner works wonders to remove glaze & any rough surfaces. Then working with the govenor, is the govenor plug in the valve body on the other side of the 1-2 shift valve. This also has to move freely with no hang ups. If you push the plug into the VB, it should spring back due to the spring on the 1-2 shift valve.
Here you go.
