It requires disassembly of the governor section of the pump to remove the fly weights. I'd imagine you'd still have to mess around with getting the correct preload on the idle spring to get its proper characteristics. Not saying that it won't work, but for the average guy out there, the GSK's would be better bang for the buck.

I agree. It sounds like a lot more work, for the same result.
