2. Hunting/Regulation
If variation in engine speed between no load and full load is too
great, adjust this eye bolt to draw the spring closer to the lever
hub.
The increase/decrease speed bolt may need to be adjusted as well.
If the governor surges under load, adjust this eye bolt to move
the spring away from the lever hub. (Check speed adjustment.)
3. Bumper Screw
This screw is used to remove a no load surge ONLY.
NEVER turn the bumper screw into the governor far enough so that
it increases the no load speed.
Governor Maintenance
1. Periodically lubricate linkage arm attaching points at governor
arm and throttle lever. Use a graphite lubricant or equivalent.
NOTE: Free movement of this linkage arm is important for proper
governor/throttle operation.
2. Governor oil capacity - 3 ounces tlO/30 motor oil.
NOTE: Do not overfill governor.
3. Change governor oil every 2000 hours of operation.
To change oil, remove governor from engine and remove oil fill and
fill level plug and drain all oil. Reinstall on engine and fill
with 3 ounces of 10/30 engine oil. Replace plugs.
