Hello,
I have 1986 38' 200 with the 5432 Diesel above. I've broken the throttle bolt going through the speed plate, which is at the top of the govenor (I believe that's what it's called). I've ordered and received the new bolt and related parts for the repair. My question is has anyone opened up the govenor on this engine? I ask because it looks like a straight-forward task, but other folks have cautioned me about springs and gears that could pop out, etc. as I try to insert the new throttle bolt. I bolt has a foot on it about two inches long with a hole through it, which I presume is attached to some kind of spring inside the governor housing.
Thanks in advance.
Frank Z.
