Please tell us more about the engine. If this is a Kawasaki V twin you can search for "replacing plastic cam gear" for more detail on the correct proceedure and measurements for the cam driven govenor gear. I have seen a very detailed posting of the process including photos. Hope this helps you.

It would help if you mentioned which model and year of Gator you have as there are differences in them. But if it is an air cooled gasser twin this link should help.
