Found a reliable method for tensioning governor ropes on older units.
Was troubleshooting a false trigger on a governor and noticed the ropes were slack. Applied even tension with a torque wrench according to the manual, and it worked perfectly. What's your go-to approach for this?

Ever use the manual and still over-tighten them like me?

You ever notice how some manuals have torque specs but no real way to measure it at home? You're just guessing what 25 foot-pounds feels like on a bike stem. Maybe the instructions skip the part where you need to stop when it first meets resistance, not when it stops turning.
