Hi All,  

   

It appears the MT governor that came as part of the Vans FWF kit has the arm in the wrong position for the way we mount the control cable.  I found an old post saying to loosen the six screws on the governor and rotate the arm assembly.   I know nothing about prop governors so I though I’d confirm that this is what the rest of you have done before messing with the governor.  

   

   

Thanks,

Yep, just refer to other people's photos for the orientation if

you can't visualize it yourself, but it's just that easy.  No

big deal at all.

As Tim mentioned, yes, you just loosen (do not remove) the screws and rotate the whole ring.  The governor doesn’t actuate until the arm turns in relation to this ring.  I wouldn’t safety the screws until you run the engine and get your RPM range where you want it, then safety the screws and use the screws on the arm to make small changes.  Don’t, however, take the arm off the gear and rotate it, because it does directly affect your prop pitch.  If you can’t get full RPM with the setting from the factory, you can rotate this arm a notch, but a single notch, I think, can make as much as a couple hundred RPM difference.  

   

Hope this helps.

Perry,

  

 Yes that is what we had to do.
