| Subject: | how can I find out the gear reduction for the governor drive |
I own an TMXIO-540 and wonder what the governor reduction drive is, I don`t have
my engine documentation currently with me. Does anyone know who has an TMX-io540
Red/Gold? I just want to be sure that the P-860-3 MT governor is really the
correct one.
Thanks
Mike

The only thing that determines what gear reduction you need is whether
you have a narrow deck version or a wide deck. Which one you have
depends on the core used to build the engine, not who assembled it.
You can easily tell by the cylinder hold down bolts. Narrow deck have
hollow allen key bolts. Wide deck has conventional hex nuts on studs.
The governor Van's sells has reduction for narrow deck. (despite the
fact that all new engines Vans sells are wide deck). While adjustments
can be made to make the Vans governor work on a wide deck, it still
won't be correct. Jim Ayers has often posted here the correct
information. A wide deck engine is supposed to get a P-860-5 MT governor.
