This will ensure no dust gets trap between the gears. It should work smoothly in the naphtha if nothing is damaged. 5) if this solves the problem, let the governor completely dry and try again. If it gets sticky again, try some oil. If nothing works then it is time to disassemble the governor and start the repair work. I hope you don't have to go that far.
