    MEP803A, governor slow to react to load

    Another thing I noticed is that before today's fix , in order to get the hz to spec I had to backup one of the governor screw so that I could turn the RPM knob. - pic 1, - after adjusting the IP, the freeplay between governor lever stop and screw is equivalent to the amount I had unscrewed...

    MEP803A, governor slow to react to load

    changed all filters, rubber lines. Set not smoking at any load when running and not smoking when bogging down. Will take the hard line out. Agree it has to be lack of fuel or air. Was hoping it was something you guys may have dealt with before.

    MEP803A, governor slow to react to load

    Took all 4 IP out , soaked, cleaned reassembled. All four were "seized in varnish" for having not run for 7 years or so , I'm not equipped to pressure test, but metering level and plunger were moving freely when I reinstalled them
