Dear Listers,
I've got the control cable going to the Governor working well and the routing under the engine nicely aligned so that it doesn't touch the sump. I've got a question regarding the control throw limits, though. Right now at HIGH RPM, the control on the Governor is hitting the stop as it should. No problem there. However, on full LOW RPM, I'm about 1/8" away from hitting the stop on the Governor. I've fiddled around with the available adjustments 'til I'm blue in the face and I just can't get that last little bit of LOW. Given the angle of the bracket, its kind of a pull backwards for the pushrod so its just never really going to work with the current bracket. My question is this: Does it really matter? When what the last time anyone actually had full LOW RPM setting?
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Matt Dralle

Matt.
I had exactly the same issue and I went for the high RPM stop and accepted the 1/8" short of the stop at the low end. So, far it is flying fine.
