GOVERNOR SENSITIVITY
These engines are adapted for use where a wide range
of speed settings is desired. Engine speed is controlled
at any given point between minimum and maximum by
simply shifting the throttle lever on the control panel
until the desired speed is reached.
A reliable instrument for checking engine speed is
required for accurate governor adjustment. Engine
speed can be checked with a tachometer.
Check the governor arm, linkage, throttle shaft, and
lever for binding condition or excessive slack and wear
at connecting points.
A
binding condition at any point
will cause the governor to act slowly and regulation will
be poor. Excessive looseness may cause a hunting
condition and regulation could be erratic. Work the arm
back and forth several times by hand while the engine is
idling to check for above conditions.
