A rambling badly (self) shot video removing a governor from my cheap gx200 clone engine in about 15 mins while talking and filming. Not as successful as I would have liked, filmed in real time, videos joined afterwards warts and all. I have taken three out now and this is the easiest and least frustrating of all the methods I have tried. It came about after a friend said his just came out with a big yank. Tried that and had no success. The stub that remains is held in with the c clip and as it does not move, should stay put (I hope), the last one I did the c clip came out as well. No removal of and re-torquing the flywheel, no picking at the c clip with picks and screwdrivers, no hammering the castings and no setting fire to things with a map torch. (All suggested methods from ages watching KZread) Removing the governor could damage your engine. This is just what I did and I don't suggest you try and copy this. The governor cog was irreparably damaged this time. It is for information only, it could have gone horribly wrong :-) FAQ Screwdriver diameter = 6mm, wrench is adjustable, vice grips with round jaws, medium size pictures here... photos.app.goo.gl/dhNvxLoi6b7... and here ... photos.app.goo.gl/Y51vn2FfF3G...
