Governed Idle

All Twin II twin cylinder engines equipped for remote control are equipped with governed idle. A detent in the equipment
control provides governed idle when the equipment control is moved to the full slow position.
Pre-Twin II, twin cylinder engines equipped for remote control have provision for governed idle. Equipment manufac-
turer's control may or may not provide a detent for governed idle. Controls with detents permit the governor to maintain
engine speeds under light loads with control in the detent position. Moving the remote control beyond the detent to the
full slow position overrides the governed idle and closes the throttle to the fully closed position to prevent engine over-
speeding, in the event of governor failure.
Remote controls without detents will provide governor control, depending on control setting, at all positions except full
slow position.

Remote Control Wire Travel

In order to make proper remote control adjustments, the
travel of the remote control wire must be not less than
( )
1-3/8" 35 mm with controls mounted in equipment,
