The Tecate 4 governor spring is used and is measured removed from the mechanism.
Height 24.05mm
Width 25.30mm
Washers/bearings measured around 27.97mm
Stainless steel balls I believe are 5/16"
Would I be correct in saying the weight of balls and the rate of the spring effectively determine when the power valves operate? If you went to heavier SS balls and a softer spring basically your PV's would operate at a lesser RPM? OR lighter SS balls and heavier spring rate they would operate at a higher RPM? Am I correct?
If anyone can throw the kx250 and the kx500 measurements at me that would be great. Include year and model

I just scoured through my 250 Kawie manual hoping to find some specs on the governor parts...but nothing at all...just pics...and the same with my 500 manual, nothing but pics.
Not sure if a Clymer would give any specs...otherwise I'll have to wait and see if anyone else has any extras floating around to get measurements. :|
dirk_411:
I doubt you will find any specs via manuals. I Just bought a 99 gov mechanism $20 total shipped into Canada. I should know whats happening in the next week and a half
Foxx4Beaver:
if I get the chance before Friday, I'll swing over to my Kawie dealer and see if he can order an entire new governor...even if it has to be done all in parts/pieces.
