Wes, I used large channel lock to remove the governor on my 47 Custom. You can do it with the unit in place. I was very careful not to grip the housing too tight. It broke loose easily and then just unscrewed. I removed the top and cleaned it; although, is was not dirty. It is a simple device with some fly weights and electrical connections. I tested it with a variable speed drill connected to spin the weights to make sure it was working. Again, the governor was functioning properly, the problem was in the wiring from the relay to the solenoid. Some idiot did not connect the wire (guess who?).
