Governor
The gear-driven centrifugal type governor serves to
keep engine speed constant by automatically adjusting
the amount of fuel supplied to the engine according to
changes in load.
Lubrication
Lubricate governor linkage at the specified interval
using white lithium grease or lubriplate.
Governor Adjustment
The gear-driven centrifugal type governor serves to
keep engine speed constant by automatically adjusting
the amount of fuel supplied to the engine according to
changes in load. No regular service is required on the
unit. The governor is adjusted during run-in at the
factory and further adjustment should not be needed
unless greatly varying load conditions are encountered
or if poor governor control develops after extended
usage. See Figure 3-25 for correct placement of
governor linkage (models may vary).
