To get the spring off, you have to take the linkage assembles out. There is a roll pin that you have to take out of the linkage assmeble. It is hard to discribe, but the shaft that runs thourgh the spring makes a 90 degree hook at the rear. This hook is 'hooked' into a little bracket...this little bracket is attacted to the linkage rod with a roll pin. Remove that roll pin, pull the linkage rod out and the spring assemble can be pulled out. Oh yea, first you have to remove the bearing and shaft...be careful not to loose the ball in there. My governor wouldn't react at all under a load, so once I got the spring removed, I shimmed the spring by installing washers between the spring and the 'what I will call the sping tube'. This gave the spring less room, increasing the spring tension. One washer was not enough, three was too many, and two was just right...that is why I had it apart so many times. The sping has a taper to it, I assume it is engineered into it to react to the engine load, so I don't know if you can find a new spring. You can find used governors relatively easily and have some spare parts.
