Bathtub,

The Governor gear meshes with the Cam gear. You need to get back in there and mesh the two together, then insert the stop pin and make sure the Gov. gear does not move away from the cam gear. If it meshes and everything looks good, reset your Gov. arm adjustment and give it a try being ready to shut down if the RPM's run away from you. Obviously the Xshaft is fine since it won't turn 360 degrees. That is usually the number one reason for Governor malfunctions. I hope this helps some. I am sure some of the other guys will chime in too with some good ideas.
