Governor Sensitivity Adjustment
Governor sensitivity is adjusted by repositioning
governor spring in holes in governor lever. If speed
surging occurs with a change in load, governor is set too
sensitive. If a big drop in speed occurs when a normal
load is applied, governor should be set for greater
sensitivity.
Desired high speed setting (RPM) will determine
governor spring position in governor lever and throttle
lever, as well as spring used.
