Posted: Sun Apr 02, 2006 8:54 am Post subject: Prop Governor arm

I have the baffling just about finished and need to modify the MT prop

governor actuation arm location so the cable will work properly  (currently

the arm rotates from vertically straight down to aft, it should start with

the arm pointing forward and be pulled down from what I can tell).  I'm not

sure what needs to be rotated 90 degrees though.  It appears the base needs

to stay in the same location and the outside ring moves in 60 degree

increments, not 90 and I don't know if there is any kind of calibration

associated with it so am hesitant to undo all the safety wire???????



Thanks for any help,

Marcus

You need to undo the safety wire from the screws and rotate the ring

around the body so that the arm is pointing to about 10-11 oclock

postion viewed looking to the right of the plane.  You do not need to

remove the ring, just rotate it.  This position is for the high RPM. 

push the prop cable to the firewall and adjust the connection to the

governer accordingly.  I have not adjusted my final RPM but I believe

that the final adjusments, if needed. are done with an adjument screw

at the properller nose.

For a single lever MT Governor:

 Remove the safety wire from the six screws around the top ring on the  governor.

 Loosen the six screws.  They do not need to be removed.

 Rotate the lever arm assembly to the desired position.

 Tighten the six screws. (They are small, so don't overtighten them.)

 Install safety wire.

  

 For the earlier MT Governor with two levers:

 Bend back the ears on the safety tab of the single screw on the outer  lever.

 Remove the single screw from the outer lever, and slide the lever off of  the spline shaft.

 Slide the lever back onto the spline shaft in the location you  want the lever.

 Install the single screw with safety tab into lever.

 Bend the tabs against the screw head.

  

 This is in the governor manual provided, but I had to be forced to read  it.

 (Stinking instructions.  Who needs stinking instructions.     )

You're right about the rotation.  I think I have some good photos

of my install on my site.  You loosen the 6 screws if I remember

right and then it rotates easily.  I re-saftied mine.  I don't think

you need to loosen them much.  The orientation is so the lever faces

forward and goes up and down toward a hole in the baffle ramp below

it.  Again though, I think you'll find some good photos on my site

that show it.  I don't think you also have to remove the 6 screws...

I think it's just loosen and rotate.  I'm not 100% sure though,

as I'm getting fuzzy, but I think that's what Anh told me back

when I had the same question.
