Re: F&W Steel Star

I know its been a while, but I have been busy with work. I was off today so I worked on the governor arms. They were wallowed out where the shaft goes through. They have a set screw that holds them on a piece of 3/4" square bar. So I cut a short piece of square bar and set them up back to back ...
