MAINTENANCE
3--29
1550 Gas/LPG/Diesel MM283 (8--02)
TO ADJUST GOVERNOR
1. Set the machine parking brake.
FOR SAFETY: Before Leaving Or Servicing
Machine; Stop On Level Surface, Set Parking
Brake, And Turn Off Machine.
2. Linkage adjustment: With the engine
stopped and the spring tension about
normal, the governor should hold the
throttle, (butterfly) in the wide open position.
The governor to carburetor control rod
should be adjusted in length so that the
throttle stop lever is 0.4 to 0.8 mm (0.02 to
0.03 in) off the stop pin. Be sure that the
bumper screw, if supplied, is backed out so
it doesn’t interfere.
Make sure that all the linkage at the
governor and carburetor operate freely —
without binding.
3. Speed adjustment: To increase the speed,
increase the spring tension using the
adjusting screw. To decrease the speed,
decrease the spring tension using the
adjusting screw.
4. Idle surge adjustment: (When the surge
screw is supplied) Turn the governor idle
surge adjusting screw “in” or to the right until
corrected.
5. Continue surging: This may indicate an
excessive looseness or binding of the
governor linkage, and sometimes too lean a
fuel mixture.
GOVERNOR -- Gas/LPG GM ENGINES (For
machines serial number 001424 and above)
The integral governor for the electronic fuel
injection system requires no adjustment.
