That engine is running nicely there Jim. I need to send for some suitable springs to test like that. I currently have one of the original springs slightly over stretched, connected across the centre of the governor.

That lubricant might find a use on my motorcycle chains. I lube them now with 90 weight gear oil applied every tank of petrol (about 200 miles) with a small paint brush. I apply it sparingly since more will be thrown off, and I don't want it on the rear tyre for obvious reasons....
