REMEDY
E. Connect a DC voltmeter to
the leads from the control
unit to the actuator. Start
the engine and manually
control speed. At speeds
below governed speed the
voltmeter should indicate
within two (2) volts of the
system voltage. If voltage
is at near zero, turn speed
adjusting screw several
turns clockwise to be sure
speed setting is not too low
because of tampering. If
voltage remains low or at
zero, replace control unit.
