Jihostroj Governor for YIO-360-A1B6 ***SOLD***

Hello all! I didn't realize back when I was buying my engine (YIO-360-A1B6) and propellor (Whirlwind 300RV) that the engine would come with a governor, so I wound up with two: An MT governor that came with the engine and a Jihostroj governor that came with my prop. I had already installed the MT governor and verified the specs with MT and whirlwind (and a post here) so I just left it installed. I then put the Jihostroj on the shelf in case I ever had problems during engine runs/flight testing.

Fast forward a few years and my propellor is cycling perfectly, I've got a perfectly good/unused Jihostroj governor sitting on my shelf, and avgas is expensive. So let's make a deal:

Make: Jihostroj
Model: P-920-032/A
S/N: 212054
Condition: New/Open Box

Looks like a new one is $1850 so I'm going to ask $1000 and we'll see where it goes. I'm happy to FaceTime, take pics with newspapers, hold up fingers, make funny faces, etc... Also if you want to fly down to KLRO you can see it in person.

If Pilot Jim falls through I am interested.
 
Additional Note: It's on the paperwork shown but the TBO for this unit is 7 years/2000hrs, with a production date in June 2021. So technically there are 2 years remaining on the TBO. That being said the unit has never been run outside manufacturer testing, never even been installed. It has sat in an oil-filled bag in a climate controlled environment for essentially the entirety of those 5 years.

Not trying to persuade or dissuade necessarily, just want to be very open about what someone will be buying. After all I want friends on my RV journey!
