ASSEMBLING THE GOVERNOR.
Clean the work area
Clean the bedplate,
The mechanical feed,
The witch's hat,
The mourning glory horn,
The keen o phone,
The gooseneck traveling arm,
The half nuts,
The friction shoe.
Strip off the old finish.
A muffled sound.
Sluggish thumps and bumps.
A buzzing tension lever
Snaps back then slips.
Improper lubrication.
Flux the crack.
Use the lift lever to adjust
The half nut.
Push it through to the end.
