Governor Sensitivity Adjustment

Governor sensitivity is adjusted by repositioning the governor spring in the holes in the governor lever. If speed
surging occurs with a change in load, the governor is set too sensitive. If a big drop in speed occurs when a
normal load is applied, the governor should be set for greater sensitivity.
The desired high speed setting (RPM) will determine the governor spring position in the governor lever and the
throttle lever, as well as the spring used. See Figure 5-27 and 5-28.
