Procedure
- To make governor control more sensitive, loosen the nut at bottom of adjusting eyebolt and tighten the top nut thereby drawing the head of the eyebolt closer to the governor arm pivot point.
- To make governor control less sensitive, loosen the top nut and tighten the bottom nut to move the head of the eyebolt away from the pivot point.
- After sensitivity is correct, tighten the nut that was previously loosened to lock the eyebolt at the new setting.
- Recheck speed after sensitivity adjustment since changing this will also affect speed.
Specs & values
- A speed droop of 3 Hz or 90 rpm between no load and full load is normal.
