[GreenKeys] Setting Governed Motors

[Alf Fisher]

Hi Dave,

I bought one of those a few years ago and yes you're right, simples!

The problem with 6S6 I had was the pivot on the right hand side had 
seized up.
When its working it hardly moves and its in an awkward spot so it gets 
missed when you apply oil.
The result is that eventually it stops moving and so its a strip down, 
clean and lube job like we all have to do to keep these old machines 
running.

73,

Alf, G3WSD
