Mowing with a TVS120 (1994 5.5hp L head) and the governor started acting wonky. I needed to replace the sump gasket anyway, so I pulled the sump and check out this gov. The right "L" weight short leg has slipped out to the middle of the spool. Such a tight clearance - it's not going back cuz plastic will break. This gov does NOT have the clips to remove the spool as the L head manual shows - spool is factory pressed on. In fact, if you buy a new sump, the gov is pre-installed. I was thinking I might have done it pulling sump and weight somehow hit the cam gear but doubt it.
The fix is remove the pop rivet and re-install? Grind down the rod collar, remove spool, then use a clip?
