VE Governor

[Rebel Ram]

I've had a sticky governor for a few weeks now and finally decided to pull it a part to see whats up. I took the top off and pulled the gov mechanism. Couldn't see any real problem other than clean everything real well. Maybe shmuts on the shaft and slider. My question is this. In the Bosch VE manual it shows 2 ports on the sliding sleeve and a longitudinal passage in the shaft.

On my pump there is only one port on the sliding sleeve and no passages on the shaft. Is this for a different application? Such as pumps with no AFC?

Also what effect does the depth location of the gov shaft have on operation? Deeper vs out.

Anyway cleaned up everything and put it back and it runs good. But I have another truck acting up and was curious about this.

How did you confirm the governor was sticking and not one of the other dozen possibilities?



How was is acting prior to removal of the pump top?

If I drove like Gramp's and short shift say,,, keep it under 1800 RPMs it was fine. If I were to pull to 2500 or better and let off the throttle pedal quick between shifts the pedal would be dead until I pushed down hard enough to give the spring enough pull to push either the sliding sleeve sticking or the weights sticking. (I think) It would also do it after a high RPM down shift. Like 4th to 3rd and taching to 2K or better. Then rolling to a stop with no throtle pressure the R's would drop to about 2 to 3 hundred and then the gov would let off and she'd pop back to idle. Sometimes she couldn't recover fast enough and die.

I can't think of anything else it could have been. If you have any thoughts let me know. But for now, Its all good.
