The new FT1585 Plate can be made for use during replacement of worn governor spring guides in 8N2500 (Rear) Governor Housings on the above engines. The plate is used to control the depth to which the spring guide is installed in the governor housing. Use 17 gauge mild steel to fabricate the FT1585 Plate. Dimensions for the plate are given in Illustration 1. Use the procedure that follows to install a new spring guide.

1. Use 1P529 Handle, 1P462 Plate, and a hydraulic press to remove the 8N2499 Spring Guide from the governor housing. There must be a hole in the press to permit the guide to be removed. See Illustration 2.
