Nice work Jim! It's good that you found that Onan manual, it looks to have more dimensional info than the generator TM has. The TM doesn't talk about the 7/32" dimension or machining the cup to gain adequate clearance. Hopefully once the gasket arrives you will be back in business.

C.B , he has another issue here. The center pin we're talking about is the pin that goes into the center of the governor assembly and the camshaft. Not only did he loose the roll pin in the timing cover, but it appears his governor assembly may be out of spec. with regards to the distance from...

Well as far as the pin relates to the operation of the governor, you might think it is working fine without the pin, but ask yourself, WHY would they put the pin there if it wasn't necessary?? It may seem like it still works correctly, but when the gear and cup are flying around at 900 RPM's...

Wow, I think you got lucky! There have recently been several threads about people with catastrophic timing and oil pump gear failure, possibly caused by that pin falling out ( breaking the boss its pressed into ) and falling into the gears and destroying a whole bunch of stuff! If the pin...

The fork is definitely not flat. There is a curve in it and if I recall correctly, the tips have a fairly obvious "Business side" that goes against the cover of the flyweight assembly. Sounds like you quite possibly might be 180 out on the fork orientation. When you put the timing cover back on...

When the machine is off the governor spring ( droop adjustment spring ) will attempt to fully open the throttle by lifting up on the arm. As soon as the engine starts the governor weights inside the timing cover should push outward and begin to counteract the "Pull" of the spring on the throttle...
