whatever section of the governor that clip was in, will no longer work.. those clips are what separate the different sections of governor..

Thanks tips ;)

Lmao do you know where I can get some??

This was on a junk pump, was just trying something. When I get this correct, I will probably just swap the gov in to my running engine. Instead of mess with another gov.

I suppose I could use a clip from the gov that this modded one will be replacing? Anything different between an 81 and 91 pump, internally? Like the circlips they should be the same yes?

Aren't they just an E-clip??  Just realized it's been years since I've had a pump apart, old age makes it hard to recall... ;)

Check with a place that services snowmobile's.

That clip is about the same as the clips that hold the needle in the carbs on snow machines.
