Governor not regulate at 2400

Post by astaib »

Hello,

My governor, a Woodward, (has the age of my plane 17 years old and the latest overhaul was done in February 2018) has problem to regulate 2400.

It runs perfectly at other speed but not 2400.

It was like this before the overhaul, but it went back with the same behavior.

When I climb or change my cruising settings from 2200 to 2400 the governor has variation of +/- 100 - 200 rpm. If I let it like this after 5 minutes the regulation at 2400 becomes ok.

Do you have any idea of what it can be?

Thanks!

Arnaud.
