Very pleased that you have it.. I will have to have a look for the service manual for that Kirby engine and send it on to to you as I feel sure that you'll appreciate it. Cheers Joe.

Part number 31426 (H30 governor spring) purchased and installed.

I think that this now finishes the rebuild.

Thank you for contributing this thread Chris, and congratulations on both the engine restoration and the way you have documented it.

I will lock this thread. If anyone needs to post to it, just send a PM to a moderator.
