I messed up my timing while installing the governor

I was reinstalling the governor in the Cub and it would not go in, then I had this brain storm to tune the engine with the crank, then thinking I just messed up the timing, ,, Does the governor have to be timed? If so how do I get it in the correct spot.
 
Ben, I am not sure this will help you directly, but coincidently, today I took the governor off my Farmall 230. I took the attached picture before I removed it. I think yours should have similar witness marks. My tractor ran fine, but I believe now it may be a tooth off.

Yes one tooth off. the single dot should sit between the double dots. Being off can make it run hotter then it should
 
Timing on a cub is 2 dots to 2 dots, and one dot to one dot.

if your cub has a magneto, yes the governor has to be timed properly. If it has a distributor you can compensate for the governor being out of time by taking the T-bar drive shaft out and turning it a tooth or two to compensate, then set timing with a timing light, or static time it following instructions in owner manual.
 
you are showing the mag gear with the cam gear. Using a dist the marks on the mag can be off as you mesh the gear on the dist for the rotor to line up on compression. But if using a mag the two dots must line up together. You don't show the single on the cam but IT WILL LINE UP WITH SINGLE ON CRANK GEAR OR ENGINE WILL NOT RUN. The mark on cam and crank gear must be lined up or the valves will never be in sink for the engine to run
 
I?m confused. I just removed the governor from my 53 Super H for a rebuild and don?t understand how that could affect the timing? There is is no adjustment.
