TO TAKE OFF THE GOVERNOR BALLS, SPINDLE OR PINION. If you find it necessary to take the governor apart, first take off the governor pinion. To do this hold the fly wheels stationary, which locks the gears, then take a wrench, stand on the governor side of the engine and turn the governor balls to the right, as the pinion is put on with a right hand thread. The governor pinion is screwed to the governor spindle. THE DETENT CATCH BLOCK. The catch block on the cam rod is made of tool steel and should last a long time. If the block should wear so it does not hold the detent blade properly, file off the point of screw on side of rod next to the engine and remove the screw with a screwdriver and turn the catch block around, using the other side. After both sides of the block are worn, buy a new one. (See No. 47EO54 in list of repairs, page 19.) THE CAM ROD SPRING. The cam rod spring (see Figure 3, page 7) holds the cam rod and roller up against the cam on the cam gear. As this spring does a lot of work it may wear out; if it does, buy a new one. (See No. 47EO59 in list of repairs, page 19.) To put on a new spring, remove the cylinder head, slip the spring over the end of the cam rod and replace the cylinder head. If necessary to repack cylinder head see page 27. HOW TO TAKE OFF A FLY WHEEL OR PULLEY. To take off the fly wheel, loosen the bolt and drive two iron or wooden wedges into the slot on both sides of the hub. This will loosen the fly wheel so it can be removed. To take off the pulley on the 1 1/2-horse power engine loosen the set screw with a screwdriver and drive the pulley off. On the larger engines all you have to do is loosen the nuts and take out the bolts or cap screws and the pulley will come off. If you have to drive the fly wheel or pulley off the shaft, use a piece of hardwood against the hub of the wheel and do not drive too hard. A number of light blows will loosen either without any danger of breaking.
