ON the top of the MT governor is a set screw which allow the servo arm to be reoriented to the correct angle per different installations. 



Seing that MT is a German company, I thought that the set screw was a metric allen wrench. I appears that non of the metric allen wrenches I purchased are of the correct size. Also, by chance I thought that it might be a star drive and it isn't that either, at least not in standard sizes. 

Does anyone know what tool will losen this set screw and is the set screw standard clockwise rotation for tightening and counterclockwise for loosening.??

Thanks,

John

I believe you are asking about a plug in the top of the governor unit.  A flush fitting requiring an allen wrench to remove?



A fitting can be installed at this location to attach an accumulator to the inlet side of the governor.



During zero "G" maneuvers, prolonged vertical maneuvers, or whenever oil pressure is lost, the accumulator will provide the required inlet pressure to the governor so the propeller functions properly (for perhaps 10 seconds.)

Hi John,

    

   I should have mention that the plug is a standard pipe thread plug, and not metric.  A standard AN fitting is used to go from the pipe thread to a flare tube end.

    

   Unless you are installing an accumulator, there shouldn't be any need to remove this plug.

Thanks Jim. 



I will not need to do anything with this plug, I just would like to know what it is for. 



I a three to four months hopefully I'll have the plane at Camarillo and I'll have you come over and torque my propellor bolts.

Thanks for your help

If the arm is removed and replaced in exactly the same orientation, nothing
