normaL reaDInG
Do Not Crank. Apply DC power to
the governor system.
Manually hold the engine at the
desired running speed. Measure
the DC voltage between Terminals
A(-) & F(+) on the speed control
unit.
Check impedance between
Terminals C & D. Should be 160
to 1200 Ω
Measure the voltage at the battery
while cranking.
Momentarily connect Terminals A
and F. The actuator should move
to the full fuel position.
Measure the actuator output, Ter-
minals A & B, while running under
governor control.
ProBaBLe caUSe
After the actuator goes to full fuel, disconnect the speed sensor at Terminal
C & D. If the actuator is still at full fuel-speed then the speed control unit is
defective.
1.
If the voltage reading is 1.0 to 2.0 V DC:
•
SPEED adjustment is set above desired speed
•
Defective speed control unit
2.
If voltage reading is above 2.0 V DC then check for:
•
actuator binding
•
linkage binding
3.
If the voltage reading is below 1.0 V DC it may be a defective speed
control unit
4.
Check if Gain is set too low.
•
Speed adjustment set too high.
•
OVERSPEED set to close to running speed.
•
Actuator or linkage binding.
•
Speed control unit defective.
OVERSPEED set too low. Adjust 5-6 turns CW.
Erroneous speed sensor signal. Check wiring.
If voltage for a 12 V DC system is less than 7 V DC, or for a 24 V DC system is
less than 14 V DC, replace the battery if weak or undersized
•
Actuator or battery wiring in error
•
Actuator or linkage binding
•
Defective actuator
•
Fuse opens. Check for short in actuator or harness.
If voltage measurement is within 2 V DC of the battery supply voltage level,
then fuel control is restricted from reaching full fuel position, possibly due to
mechanical governor, carburetor spring, or linkage interference.
SPEED parameter set too low
