1. Before making adjustments run the generator about 15 minutes under a
light load to reach normal temperatures.
2, Engine speed determines the output voltage and current frequency of the
the generator.
3. Increasing the speed increases the voltage and frequency and vice versa.
4. An accurate voltmeter should be connected to the generator output. I
used one of the receptacles in the motorhome to check the voltages.
5. A binding in the bearings of the governor shaft, in the ball joint or
in the carburetor throttle assembly will cause erratic govenor action or
alternate increase or decrease in speed hunting. A lean carburetor
adjustment may also cause hunting. Springs have a tendency to lose their
calibrated tension through fatigue after long usage. If all governor and
carburetor adjustments are propely made and the governor action is still
erratic, replacing the spring with a new one and resetting the adjustments
will usually correct the proplem.
6. Speed Ajustment----With the warmed up unit operating at no load, adjust
the tension of the governor spring. This is located on top of the unit and
is connected to an arm with small drilled holes near the shaft.(You will
see a spring with an ajustment nut. This adjusting nut is turned to obtain
a voltage and speed reading within limits.)
7. Sensitivity Ajustment---Check the voltage with no load and with a load.
8. Adjust the sensitivity to give the closest regulation ( least speed
and voltage difference between no load and full load) without causing a
hunting condition.
9. To increase the sensitity (closer regulation), shift the spring toward
the governor shaft. That may be one hole closer to the shaft.
10. An adjustment for too much sensitvity will cause alternate increase
and decrease of engine speed (hunting).
11. To decrease sensitivity, shift the spring toward the outer end of the
govenor arm. Too little sensitivity will result in too much difference in
speed between no load and full load conditions.
12. Now any change in the sensitivity adjustment usually requires a
corresponding spring (spring tension) adjustment.
