SPEED GOVERNING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
GOVERNOR SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

CONTROL ROD

Governor adjustments should only be made by a factory qualified service person.


Inspect the linkage between the governor and the carburetor to be sure it is properly aligned. Be sure linkage is clean to ensure trouble-free operation.
NOTE: If a governor must be replaced, it will be
necessary to have a factory qualified service person
available to adjust the governor before it is put into
service.
Lubricate the governor control rod ends by using a
grease gun on the grease fittings (see Figure 4.00-1
and Figure 4.00-2). The engine governor drive is lubricated by engine oil and does not require external lubrication. Check the governor oil supply tubes and fittings
for any leaks or cracks and make repairs.

QUICK START GOVERNOR OIL SUPPLY F18/H24


ONLY
An optional oil supply is available for quick start applications with EG3P and PSG governors. The oil reservoir
provides instant throttle response upon crank initiation.
A filter element is used as an oil reservoir (see
Figure 4.00-3).
1. Replace the filter element every 6 months.
2. Clean the small orifice once a year (see Figure 4.00-3).

MAGNETIC SPEED SENSOR GAP ADJUSTMENT
PSG, 4024 AND EG3P GOVERNOR ONLY
The magnetic speed sensor reads engine speed from
the flywheel teeth for use with the electric governor
(see Figure 4.00-4). A minimum of 1.5 volts AC from
the sensor is required to run the 4024 or EG3P governor.

1. Center flywheel gear tooth in sensor hole (see


Figure 4.00-5).

2. Turn sensor in until it contacts flywheel tooth, then


back pickup out 1/4 turn (see Figure 4.00-6). Tighten
jam nut (7/8 inch hex) against flywheel housing.
Do not allow sensor to turn while tightening jam nut.

Always follow recommended procedures for


magnetic pickup sensor installation. If the top of the
flywheel tooth is able to make contact with the sensor
pole face (bottom), then rotation of the flywheel will
damage the pickup sensor.

CAUTION

NOTE: Do not adjust the speed sensor gap when the


engine is running or damage to the sensor will occur.
The gap required between the sensor and flywheel
gear is 0.4 mm 0.1 mm (0.016 in. 0.004 in.). Use
the following procedure to adjust the sensor gap.
