It will be necessary to remove the alternator and alternator mounting bracket to install tooling (B). 1. Install washer (2). Install seal (1) with tooling (A). Be sure the lip of seal (1) points down as shown. Lubricate the lip of seal (1) with clean engine oil. 2. Install cover (6) and control lever (4) on the governor terminal shaft. Tighten bolt (3) that fastens the control lever to the shaft.
Before the governor is installed on the engine, be sure pin (5) of control lever (4) is at the bottom of the lever as shown. If the pin is not in this position, the control lever can bind or become disconnected from the engine fuel control linkage. Engine overspeed can be the result.
3. Put pin (5) of control lever (4) at the bottom as shown and tighten the pin lock bolt enough to hold the pin in position while the governor is installed. 4. Install gasket (7) on the front drive housing. Install four seals (10) on the governor drive. Loosen six bolts (9) that fasten the governor drive to the accessory drive housing.5. Be sure the O-ring seal is in position on the bottom of the governor drive housing and put the governor in position on the governor drive. Square up the governor base with the front accessory drive housing and tighten governor base bolts (11).6. Rotate the governor drive to align the holes in cover (6) before tightening governor drive bolts (9), to prevent possible side loading on the governor terminal shaft. After the holes in cover (6) are in alignment, tighten bolts (9).7. Install tooling (B) and adjust pin (5) on the control lever to synchronize the governor travel to the fuel control linkage. See Governor Installation, 3161 Governor With Torque Rise, in Testing and Adjusting, for the correct adjustment and setting procedure. 8. After the governor is adjusted, remove tooling (B).

This puts the bracket in alignment.d. Tighten bolts (18).10. Use a pair of vise-grips or pliers and rotate shaft (12) in the "Fuel On" direction and release it several times. The terminal shaft must return completely to the "Fuel Off" position each time. If the terminal shaft does not return, binding can be the result of parts not in correct alignment.11. If necessary repeat Steps 4 through 9 until the terminal shaft and linkage operate smoothly.12. Connect wire connector (14) for the shutoff solenoid.13. Install the alternator bracket and alternator.
