Controlling process at the lowest governing scope of engine.
(Fig. 5)
Once the engine has started, the engine is kept at idling condition by maintaining the
control-lever at idling position
(2).
In this case the idling position of the control-lever
(2)
is
slightly before the original position
(0).
Under this condition, the governor begins its self-governing automatically. When the
control-lever drawn back from the starting position, the governor-spring is eased so that it
reaches barely the vertical pOSition coming about under the revolving center of the
tension-lever. Accordingly the force of the governor-spring which acts on the shifter,
guide-bush and flyweight through the tension lever becomes very weak, and the flyweight
may spread outside even at a low-speed r.p.m.

The flyweight transfers the guide-bush and the shifter following the direction of the
arrow as shown in Fig. 5. The guide-lever connected with the shifter will move with the
shifter, and revolve the floating-lever, and the lever will pull the control-rack connected with
it to the idling position.
In this case the tension-lever comes in touch with the idling-sub-spring and performes
idling smoothly helped by the spring.
When the r.p.m. is lowered, the centrifugal force will be decreased, the spring will
