R-9 Governor

Happened to just change the cap (contact points) on my R-9 overdrive governor, and noticed the weights when manually pulled apart are just a bit sluggish on returning to neutral. I have not taken one apart, and really don't want to. Might I just squirt a bit of brake parts cleaner at the base? It just feels like there is a bit of goop when I go to push them back together with my fingers. Also there are two machine screws at the top of each weight, with a loop and arm for some sort of adjustments? Might be for cut in speed change?
Just in case one day, are there any spare parts for these?
Thanks
