Initial Governor Adjustment - Kohler Command PRO ECH630 Service Manual

Section 5
EFI Fuel System
General
The idle speed is the only adjustment that may be
performed on the EFI system. The standard idle
speed sett ing for EFI engines is 1500 RPM, but certain
applications might require a diff erent sett ing. Check
the equipment manufacturer's recommendation.
For starting and warm up, the ECU will adjust
the fuel and ignition timing, based upon ambient
temperature, engine temperature, and loads present.
In cold conditions, the idle speed will probably be
diff erent than normal for a few moments. Under other
conditions, the idle speed may actually start lower
than normal, but gradually increase to the established
sett ing as operation continues. Do not att empt to
circumvent this warm up period, or readjust the
idle speed during this time. The engine must be
completely warmed up, in closed loop operating
mode for accurate idle adjustment.
Adjustment Procedure
1. Make sure there are no fault codes present in the
ECU memory.
2. Start the engine and allow it to fully warm up
and establish closed looped operation
(approximately 5-10 min.).
3. Place the thrott le control in the idle/slow position
and check the idle speed with a tachometer. Turn
the idle speed screw in or out as required to
obtain 1500 RPM, or the idle speed specifi ed by
the equipment manufacturer. See Figure 5-23.
4. If the idle speed is adjusted up over 1800 RPM,
you must fi rst decrease idle RPM to 1500 RPM
and then up to fi nal idle speed sett ing for the TPS
to be properly learned by the ECU.
5. The idle speed adjustment can aff ect the high idle
speed sett ing. Move the thrott le control to the full
thrott le position and check the high idle speed.
Adjust as necessary to 3750 RPM, or the speed
specifi ed by the equipment manufacturer.

Initial Governor Adjustment

The initial governor adjustment is especially critical on
EFI engines because of the accuracy and sensitivity of
the electronic control system. Incorrect adjustment can
result in overspeed, loss of power, lack of response, or
inadequate load compensation. If you encounter any
of these symptoms and suspect them to be related to
the governor sett ing, the following should be used to
check and/or adjust the governor and thrott le linkage.

If the governor/thrott le components are all intact,
but you think there may be a problem with the
adjustment, follow Procedure A to check the sett ing. If
the governor lever or the thrott le body was loosened
or removed, go immediately to Procedure B to
perform the initial adjustment.

A. Checking the Initial Adjustment
1. Unsnap the plastic linkage bushing att aching the
thrott le linkage to the governor lever. See Figure
5-24. Unhook the damper spring from the lever,
separate the linkage from the bushing, and
remove the bushing from the lever. Mark the hole
position and unhook the governor spring from
the governor lever.
2. Pivot the thrott le shaft and plate assembly into
the Full Thrott le position. Use a locking pliers
(needle nose works best) to temporarily clamp
the plate to the stop boss. Alternatively, there
may be a stop pin instead of the stop boss. See
Figure 5-25.
