Re: Exploded or cross-section illustration of GOVERNOR for Borg Warner Overdrive?

Here are some pictures of the GOVERNOR that I want to refurbish.

Since the drive rivets that held the top on are broken, I'll try to drill and tap the body for screws.

I should be able to just clean up the switch parts and file the contacts in the cap.

What I'm not sure about is how the springs and weights in the body are supposed to work. I already cleaned out the gunk and corrosion with some electronics cleaner spray, but the weights seem to move too easily, as if the springs are broken or missing, whereas they are not supposed to actuate the switch in the top until reaching 600 to 800 rpm depending on rear axle ratio.
