Yes actually. Ironically I was able to fix it yesterday finally. After some phone calls, I talked to a pump builder in Woodland Ca.. He gave me the standyne part number and detailed instructions on how to do it. He said it would take him about an hour so I figured it would take me a day with my bad back. Turns out, the jam nut on the governor screw is countersunk on the pump side and an o ring sits in there. I was surprised at the lame design actually as the o ring compresses right down on the threads of the gov screw. No o ring groove, no seats, nothing. But, it worked and I guess that's all that matters. Was pretty simple really. You unhook the electrical connectors on the pump, pop the top cap off the pump to expose the gov spring assembly, then get an idea on the distance between the jam nut and the bolt head of the screw so it all ends up back in the same place, crack the jam nut loose and back the screw out. After a few turns, you will need to run the jam nut back towards the pump as it starts hitting the body that the injector lines come out of. Get the screw and jam nut out, pull the old o ring out of the nut, clean it all up and carefully put it back to where it was and snug it all down. Pay close attention and watch what is happening inside the pump as you are backing the screw out. I took a few pictures of it all before I did anything. You will also want to get a turkey baster and suck the fuel out of the bowl or it will run out everywhere when you pull the screw. I put my fuel in a clean container and poured it back in the bowl before I put the top cap back on. Oh, and the plastic cap over the bolt head is nothing. Toss it. Thanks for all the help. Much appreciated.

I don't think it runs better but it does start a lot easier as there isn't any drain off of the fuel in the pump after shutdown. When she finally goes, I'm going to get a Moose pump in it and do the injectors at the same time. Btw, thanks for all of the help. Much appreciated.
