BIGJOHNG2 1 #1 Posted January 30, 2022 So I have been working on my Comet pump. I was able to connect the vane ( flag ) to wire shaft which Wallfish provided. I then worked the metal with a screwdriver and secured the metal as best I could. To make the connection more secure I used a dab of epoxy. That seemed to do the trick.It is now tight.I reassembled the governor to the carb ,but it sure seems like the fit is very loose and might come flying out with the motor running. Is there a way to somehow fasten the shaft to the carb? This governor design seems a bit flaky to say the least . Any pointers? Thanks, John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #2 Posted February 2, 2022 The blower housing cover when installed will keep the vane from coming out of the carb. I've never had one come apart while running Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

factory 487 #4 Posted February 2, 2022 They are a loose fit, I've only had one some out when running and that was because the vane flag was bent the wrong way. If it comes out of the carb the engine will run away, keep an eye on it when you try it for the first time and be ready to use the kill switch, or close the choke if it misbehaves.
