'61 FSM serial #1602957. Difficulty starting w/o touch of starting fluid. Hunting at high rev.
Lots of white smoke. Suspected diaphragm in vacuum governor. Disassembled and found diaphragm
in good order,however; found dampening valve out of place in body of governor housing and upon
inspection observed it to be worn and unable to seat securely in corresponding bushing as this too
seems to be worn beyond repair. Could this be the source of my difficulty? If so, any advice as
to a repair or a resource for a replacement part? Any insights are welcome. Love this old girl
and would hate to see it brought down by such a tiny part! Thanking all in advance and stay safe
in these crazy times!
