The governor drive gear has rubber blocks between it and the drive shaft to dampen torsional vibration. My guess is that these are disintegrating.

ULSD is available in the UK, a lot of supermarkets are starting to sell it at the pump aka City for instance the local oil terminal the supermarkets use only refines, stores and sells ULSD now (I know this as I work at the Logistics company that delivers the fuel to the supermarkets)

No need to swap the shaft, the rubber blocks for the damper are included in an injection pump gasket kit. Complete pump disassembly will be required to install them. If you aren't familiar with the inner workings of the pump it's probably best just to swap it for a good one.
