● When load is applied and engine speed and governor

gear speed decreases, governor spring tension moves

governor arm to open throttle plate wider. This allows

more fuel into engine, increasing engine speed. As

speed reaches governed setting, governor spring

tension and force applied by regulating pin will again

offset each other to hold a steady engine speed.

Initial Governor Adjustment

Make this initial adjustment whenever governor arm is

loosened or removed from cross shaft. To ensure proper

adjustment, make sure throttle linkage is connected to

both governor arm and throttle lever on carburetor.

1. Loosen governor lever adjustment screw.

2. Move governor lever away from carburetor (wide

open throttle). Do not apply excess force that may

ex or distort throttle link.

3. Grasp cross shaft with a pliers and turn shaft

clockwise as far as it will go. Then torque nut to

9.5 N·m (84 in. lb.).

4. Rotate governor shaft clockwise until it stops.

5. Hold both in this position and torque governor lever

bolt to 10 N·m (88.5 in. lb.).
