🔍 Key Concepts

• Centrifugal governor basics – how the balance between the governor spring (piece #7) and rotating weights (piece #9) controls engine speed and fuel rack position. • Effect of load change on speed – what happens to engine RPM and governor weight speed when load increases or decreases. • Overspeed protection – what usually happens in a mechanical governor if the governor spring fails or if the weights move outward too far.

💭 Think About

• Looking at the illustration, trace what physically moves when RPM increases: do the weights move in or out, and does that make the fuel rack give more or less fuel? • Think about an engine under sudden increased load: does the RPM initially go up or down, and how would that affect the speed of the governor weights? • When the centrifugal force of the weights exactly balances the governor spring force, what steady condition does that represent for the engine?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which direction of fuel rack travel (piece #3) corresponds to increase vs decrease in fuel delivery in this style of governor linkage. • Check what normally occurs in a stable, governed speed condition – is the spring force equal to, greater than, or less than the centrifugal force of the weights? • Consider a spring failure: with no governor spring tension, ask yourself whether the weights would move inward or outward at speed, and whether that motion tends to shut off or increase fuel.
