Abstract
A governor system assembly and related method for assembling the same. The assembly may include a governor gear, a weight, and a locking pin pivotably coupling the weight to the governor gear along a pivot axis. The locking pin includes a locking segment rotatable into engagement with the gear about the pivot axis for securing the pin to the gear. In one assembly, the locking pin is rotatable between an unlocked position in which the locking pin is axially removable from the gear and a locked position in which a locking pin is not axially removable when the locking segment engages the gear. The locking pin may be L-shaped in some assemblies.
