govenor response

Thanks,

First thought that I have is that you could play with the speed control spring under the tubular cover that juts out of the forward upper left corner of the governor. Not sure what effect it might have, but it should control the "sensivity" of the governor as this spring is used to balance the force from the sleeve that the weights push on. If that spring were set looser, it should take less force from the weights sliding the sleeve to close the throttle (remember that the governor closes the the throttle when engine speed increases), so you would need less governor so that your throttle setting still demands fuel.

So, tightening the spring should signal that it takes more governor force to maintain that same throttle position, or rather engine speed, which translates to more engine rpm before the governor pulls it back.

Guessing on my part. I'll have to try that some day on the dyno.
