I need some help - I have a '44 VAC that sometimes runs erratically. I suspect a problem with the governor, so we opened it up and found the (earlier flyball type) governor had worn parts and was dry. It appears to not have been receiving oil. I believe oil is supposed to be supplied through the camshaft and then through a hole in the camshaft gear (apparently via a hole in the thrust plate as the shaft rotates?). The gear has only a partial hole in it (not drilled all the way through). Am I missing something? Is the partial hole in the gear in pic supposed to go through the gear to receive oil? We suspect someone was in this before, noting the damage to the end of the camshaft (some broken threads) so perhaps this is not a correct gear??
Thanks for help.
