I need to change my governor setting as it will over rev and I can only go 

3/4 throttle and take off to keep it 2700rpm. I doubt if the screw 

adjustment will be enough so my question for those that have moved the arm 

one spline was it a big deal? Does the spline want to turn by it self once 

you remove the arm to reposition?

No big deal but you do neeed to mark with fine tip marker the current

location. Mark both the spline and the arm. If you are over reving then you

must move the arm clockwise with repsect to the spline. My guess would be at

most two splines. Four hands or a locking wrnech may help to ensure movement

in the correct way. Mine was under reving by 200 rpm. I initially moved it

2-3 splines CCW and it was too much. Adjusted to 1 spline and used the

screw.

You might also need to adjust the low pitch stop on the prop to ensure that

in the event of governor failure that the in-flight overspeed does not

overstress the prop/engine. Overspeed prop conditions are specified in the

prop manual.
