The shaft on top of the govenor housing on my G has slack in it. Had the shaft built back up where it runs through the housing, but the hole is worn some and still has some play in it. Can i make a bushing and drill the housing hole out bigger and put a bushing in it, will the cast drill out ok. I have the housing off so i can put it in a drill press. My book does not show a bushing in it. Any help is appreciated, Ken.

I have to assume that you are talking about the throttle linkage shaft as it exits the top of the governer housing. Yes, it would be best to bush this if the hole is worn out. Get to a good parts store which should have a bushing selection box from which you should be able to find one that fits the built up shaft. Have them use a micrometer on the bushing OD to guage what size drill to use being sure to use a drill at least .004" smaller than the bushing in order to get the bushing to stay stuck in the hole. A test hole drilled in scrap metal and a wasted spare bushing just to see if you got the right size drill an absolute MUST do here. Your drill press might have a built in .010" wobble factor and it would do no good to put a bushing in a hole it is going to fall out of. Shim stock can be used around the bushing if this mistake is made despite cautions taken.

If the bushing shrinks so much when finally installed that you then can't get the shaft through it, any decent machine shop could run a reamer in that hole for a minimal charge. A dremel tool with carbide cutter also an option if used very lightly. Test fitting the shaft will show rub marks on the bushing where the fit is too tight.

The cast iron will cut like cold butter, no worries there. Other than the few tips above, you seem to have the situation well in hand, good luck.
