 Sl e The governor can't hold down the engine
 speed as much as it should during winching so
 the hydraulic system operates under higher pres-
 sure than it was made for.
 Result?

 lic lines.
 But howcum the solenoid gets rusted?
 Water condenses inside the housing or seeps











 First take the solenoid off and dry it.
 Next you gently get the rust off with a little fine sandpaper.
 When you put the solenoid back, use the gasket but also seal around the
opening with a couple dabs of gasket shellac. FSN 8040-664-4134 gets you a
pint can.
 You also rub a little insulating compound on the rubber of the electrical
connection. FSN 5970-159-1598 is good for an 8-oz tube.
 This works fine for years but after several cleaning the solenoid gets too worn
down to do its job. Then you put on a new one. Governor solenoid repair kit
FSN 2990-893-5931 includes the solenoid and a new solenoid gasket.
 When you put on a new solenoid you also adjust the governor the way it says
on page 149 of TM 9-2320-222-20 (Aug 66).
