I have a fairly nice "survivor" (ie un-restored but ok to look at) series 2 PAZ1 fixed speed engine.

I dug it out of the back of my unheated garage, where it has stood for around 4 years with a blanket over it.
I changed the oil, checked the tappets and wiped it over with a Paraffin rag.
It still had fuel in it from 4 years ago, but it fired right up on the first cranking with virtually no smoke  Cool

Now to the point, I knew the governor didn't work (it never has since I got it about 10 years ago).
I stripped the governor off and discovered it only has a spring one one side of the weights  >Sad
I checked as best as I could, to make sure the missing spring was not lurking in the front casing, but I cannot see it (I hope it ain't in the sump).

So far I have not been able to source a new pair of springs.
The part number I got from a manual I down loaded ( number = PD6) comes up with nothing on several Google search terms.

So, does anyone either know of a part number I can search for, or even better, a place that is likely to be able to supply?

Regards to all,
John B

Might be worth giving Stationary Engine Parts call - if you don't find it in the sump. Wink

I did send Stationary Engine Parts an email, they are checking into whether they can supply.

I might have a poke around in the sump with a bit of wire or summat via the oil filling cap, but I reckon the chances of "catching it" might be slim Crying or Very sad

I found a telescopic stick with a magnet on the end,  at Aldi I think, but there are plenty about. Very useful when you drop valve collets when refitting Villiers valves. Something like this...

The Stationary Engine Parts guy (Steve Perks) has got stocks of the springs (Pt # PD6) at a reasonable price, so that is good Very Happy

Funny though, with some mechanical adjustments to the external "bits" I have managed to get the motor to "govern" OK with just the one spring in place.

Might as well get it done "properly" though, so I will order another spring (to make the pair) tomorrow.
