Reassembly Sensitivity Adjustment Governor Lever Hole 1 Hole 2 Hole 3 Hole 4 Governor sensitivity is adjusted by repositioning governor spring in holes of governor lever. If speed surging occurs with a change in engine load, governor is set too sensitive. If a big drop in speed occurs when normal load is applied, governor should be set for greater sensitivity.
