Having difficulty getting 2700 RPM on the IO540D4A5 and the Hartzell CS prop. Have tried adjusting the prop low pitch stop without positive results. Did anyone else have to adjust the sped control inside the governor or was the use of the set screws enough?

I seem to remember in one instance having to move the arm on the governor one notch, but that makes a big difference. Usually the set screw stop will give you the needed change.

The problem might be that your governor is kicking in too early. When I made the initial run-up to check for max rpm I backed off the stop set screw on the governor is not in the loop. Then make the adjustment on the stop screw on the prop hub. Randy 40006

Just a thought... may get someone with a remote gun to check the prop speed. No clue what tach you're using but on the grt eis there is a "factor" to choose for accurate readings. If you choose the wrong one of course you'll not get the correct reading (don't ask how I know) and you'll think you're not getting the max rpm.
Folks that balance props have remote gun to shoot the prop.

AND STAY WAY BACK OF THE BLADES WHEN YOU USE THAT OPTICAL TACH GUN, it doesn't need to be that close to count them going by.
