    @Oxbow the middle pic shows the governor spring and shim pack. The top just shows the stub it goes over and the bottom shows the governor shaft that slides into the stub.
    The other end of the govenor spring slides into that cup on governor shaft. That's what made me say I was picking the wrong spring this morning.
    8M-9141 is the purple stripe spring you want to use 2P-9556 is the flat washer you want to add to the shim pack. Build the shim pack on the fork then slide the governor spring over the stub. Then install housing over governor shaft on rear of pump. Make sure your weight arms stay in the slot. (They should) pull the breather hose and fire it with a block off plate for safety. It should fire immediately as you didn't open the fuel system. You will also have to turn the idle up 2 rounds or so. (Jake cut out switch turn it in to raise idle)

    @rank this could really help you as well. You should have the 9141 spring and may only need to add the flat washer

    I’m amazed how there’s aren’t driveline parts strewn everywhere. They are only shifting once or twice....I wonder what gears they’re using. If I started in low gear with my 15 speed and 3.90 rear I’d shift 5-6 times to cover that ground

    Pfft I’m only 253” pulling 53’ spread axle double drops with 46+ ft from KP to rear axle that’s long enough. how much room does a guy need to sleep anyway?

    You understand because you pulled them. I will try to explain those that haven’t.

    A 48ft rgn turns like a van trailer at the 41ft limit. A 53ft rgn turns like a 53 ft van with the trailer tandems against the ICC bumper. Add axles and it is suddenly the most non turning trailer known. Stretch it (as in an expandable) or add a deck insert, and now you have something that demands the best drivers that money can buy. You will high center this trailer at most Cat scales and even some fuel islands.
