NEED HELP WITH WISCONSIN ENGINE

Well it's been a LONG time but if I remember correctly, the coupler on the back of the engine that you are referring to is held in with a set screw set into the crankshaft coming out of the engine. Most likely it's been on there for a long time and will need to be soaked in penetrating oil or something. Once the set screw is removed then you should be able to remove the coupler with the universal joint on it from the engine. If it still won't slide off, you may need to get a few pry bars or something in there to slide it off. Prior to hooking it back up I would ensure that it was clean and slid on easy. Also would put some "never-sieze" or an equivelant lubricant on the shaft in order to make removing it (if required) after this a little easier.

Are you sure that the govenor is in need of replacement? Most of the time you can replace the part(s) that are bad on a govenor. Would have done this on the haybine except it was eaten up too bad and the only thing that might've been considered salvageable was the housing and it was chewed up to.

Hope this is of some help, and good luck with your project.

I apologize about your name. I guess it's still a little early for me, and the coffee hasn't kicked in yet. LOL, I know my eyesight is getting bad (haven't passed an eye chart test in many years) but I usually don't miss something like that.
