I'm searching the archives for information on re-aligning the actuating 

arm on the controller and I've found a few items.



However, am I supposed to have some documentation on the controller as 

part of my Van's/Lycoming engine package? 



Any guidance appreciated.

Bill,



I got documentation with mine (180hp 6A) - I'll try to remember to dig it out this weekend and zap it to you.



Alternatively, check out the MT website - they may have it online....

Hey Bill,



Until someone gives you the technical details, the process is astoundingly simple:  cut the safety wire that connects the straight blade screws around the perimiter of the governor face, LOOSEN (do not remove) the screws, then rotate the whole arm/face mechanism to the position you want, retighten and safety wire.   The screws provide a friction fit for the face plate so that it can be adjusted.



If you already know all that and are asking about the position to lock it down, we looked at the position the control cable was coming from and aligned it so that halfway between stops was at 90 degrees.



Later, - Lew

Thanks Ralph.  I went (back) to the MT site and found the manual.  

Printed it but not read yet but I'm sure I have whatever is available.



Thanks!

Thanks Lew.  That's sort of what I got from the archives but that is 

clearer and more definitive.   Also, don't move the arm on the spline 

shaft, right?



 Now that I have the doc, I can don my belt and  suspenders before 

diving in.



Thanks again,

Bill

do not archive
