ENGINE ADJUSTMENTS
ELECTRONIC GOVERNOR (OPTIONAL)
The Electronic Governor regulates the engine speed by
sensing the engine's RPM with a magnetic pick-up at the
flywheel. The governor's controller continuously monitors
the engines speed and
if
there is any discrepancy, the
controller signals the actuator and the actuator adjusts the
engine to the desired speed electronically.
