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.

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.
