Here is what a gov looks like inside. This pic is of Dan Gregg's where the yoke came loose and it wouldn't shift right.

I do use the gov as a template to drill the gear after it is put in.
You won't need the "nails" at all.
A stubby drill should be fine, the shaft diameter is .700"~ where the pin goes.

Thanks Wally (HTH),

To completely understand your instructions I'd have to see what you're talking about. That would happen when having to replace the governor. I'll put together an instruction sheet and put it with our spare governor along with some 1/8 bits. Need to figure out how to use the bits - don't really want to carry a cordless drill but might be a good idea.

So, drill the hole with the old governor as a template then to get it in the right spot?

And the nail is to unhinge the weights?

By the way, found a bunch of short double ended 1/8 drill bits at Harbor Freight.

Thanks again.
