Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Governor Lever to TST Plate Adjustment?

[Dave Remillard]

I was reviewing Piers governor lever adjustment and it occured to me that when I adjusted mine, I may have mis-understood the directions. His illustration for the adjustment to a #6 TST plate is to adjust the lever to the bottom nose of the plate. When I first read this I understood it to mean the tip that extends out the furthest. However now I'm thinking what he meant was to adjust to the point that the angle from the bottom of the plate to the first change in angle ocurs, and not to the tips that protrudes the most. Since I have a #5 plate, if I was incorrect on my understanding of the adjustment, I will need to re-adjust mine. Right or wrong?

Thanks, and please be gentle on me if I was wrong. I'm embarrased enough already.

You need to readjust it. I'm surpised you were able to get enough adjustment to raise it that high. The idea is to keep the lever from going under the plate.

Thanks Bill, you once again have helped make sense of how things are designed to work. I appreciate your sharing of knowledge.

You read the instructions from Piers correct. The lever needs to be just under the biggest nose or just below the main fueling curve. The position changes depending on the plate you install, too.



I installed a #4 and the lever was in a good position to keep it from sliding under the plate, but still hold for a climb in engine rpm before hitting the main fueling curve. To install a #6 would require an adjustment.



I don't know the #5 plate shape to give exact positions except it should be solidly on the projection below the main fueling curve.
