Coda; I pulled out the governor manual and a procedure for both static
testing and in-flight testing were spelled out. I decided to leave the
static alone and just do the inflight test. Made the adjustment
required and overshot by 30 rpms or so. Readjusted and ready to go.
Very simple and straight forward.
I tried a much slower application of power during takeoff and no longer
have the "overspeed" situation.
Thanks all.

It has been 360 hrs and four years since my prop was off the plane. I had to replace
my alt belt and was shocked by the amount of sludge caked inside the crank.
This the stuff that will corrode the crank from within.
I cycle my prop almost at every flight.
I had to build a scraper from a piece of alumn strap to scrape the sludge. No amount
of thinner would clean it. The stuff was grey (i assume metal) and most
of it was the consistency of proseal. Some was dry and came off powdery like.
I am thinking that two years and couple hundred hours might be the good time to
clean the crank.
It would be nice to know other people experiences.

I've cleaned mine at least a couple times now. It is similar to proseal as you
say. My guess is that there may be metal there but a lot of it could be blow-by
lead from the fuel that collects in the oil too. I'd say it cakes on to about
1/4" thick or so.
