I changed the oil with 10w-30
Replaced oil filter, had a bunch of crap in it.
Filled it up with oil, and fired it up. This time it was idling OK, I took VDC measurement on J,H on SLC100. There a YouTube video below showing this. When it bogs down its under full load...
A SLC 100 from GAC is $328 USD, I figured sooner or later I'm going to have to get one from them. 2 year warranty on them too. I think its a balance issue, I changed the position of the set screw and where the black thumb screw sits.
Going to check it to be sure as well
Thanks
I tried to set up electronic governor today, I can not get it to stop surging it wants to idle so close to the magnet it gets captured and opens full then repeats. I tried adjusting the length of linkage no luck. When I do apply full load it runs for a min and then bogs out as it did before...
It was still smoking at 3kw load, it did sound better not running as fast as it was before.
Tonight or tommrow ill set up electrinic gov. When I pluged the actuator back in and allowed it to control it wanted to surge. I change the tension and disatnce when i adjusted the plate so I expected...
I set it up to run at 312Hz no load fully open throttle, when load is applied 297Hz is obtained. The screw has a direct affect where the knob can be place.
This is what it's at now after adjustment.
Thanks
I had my meter in DC mode when I took Hz reading may of been off. I test on outlet 60 Hz, so don't think the meter is an issue. Ive looked threw the TM it make no mention on how to adjust the mechanical governor, there is a factory preset one that it says not to touch.
Tomorrow ill check...
That's my older meter, it doesn't have amp clamp on it was cheaper to buy another meter than the attachment for reading amps. I bought that meter in 2010. I have a hard time believing it was spinning a 4500 RPM, that thing would of went flying into pieces. Maybe something is off, meter probably.
When I ran it for the 6 hrs it was running like this, full speed. Think damage may have occurred? Also how do I get an accurate reading off of Hz seems to want to bounce around a bit on reading.

Here how the screw affects the thumb screw travel.
https://youtu.be/zb0Tq5dchRU
When I adjusted the screw to allow the thumb screw to go all the way to start. 343.47Hz
After a five adjustments I reached 320Hz, After a few minutes the RPM increase up to 370 +- 20. The spherical nut is raised off...
TM says mechanical governor is set for 3750RPM, I think its been running at ludicrous speed. 317Hz at no load locked actuator 3,800 RPM is what TM says. Should stop at 3750RPM right?
I am measuring off of the alternator sense leads A,B for electronic governor controller. It bogged down after less than a minute the first time, sorry for crazy footage had to be quick.
