I need some advice. I need to control engine speed somehow, I found an 8N governor. Pasted below is the link, this particular one may have problems..assume I use one in good working condition. Could I adapt this to work somehow or is there a better option? Though this thread title mentions diesel power, I will be using the inline 6 cylinder gas engine.
Questions I cant find the answers for online.
1. Will this thing do what I need it to?
2. How is the gear attached, pressed on?
3. What gear does this mesh with on the engine, crank, cam, timing?
4. How many are teeth on the governor and other unknown gear?
5. Estimated travel of rod that goes to the carburetor?
If any of you know a better way please point me in the right direction.
