| Subject: | Hartzell Prop Gov from Van's |
So if you have been following the MT prop gov saga, you are most likely aware that
we established that the Hartzell gov for the 540 comes in two flavors:
S-1-26 for narrow decks
S-1-32 for wide decks
We also had established, or I thought we had, that Van's carried both but under
the un-intuitive nomenclature in the catalog of O-540 and IO-540 (I say un-intuitive
because the fuel delivery system has no bearing on the correct type of
gov for a given engine). Any way, thus informed, I ordered the O-540 version
under the impression I would get the S-1-26 narrow deck model.
Nope. The box had O-540 written on the outside but also a printed sticker that
said S-1-32. My heart sank. I opened the box all the way up to verify ad sure
enough it's an S-1-32 wide deck model. So I get to call Van's tomorrow and see
what I need to do to return it. I guess I'll also see if they have any S-1-26s
still sitting on the shelf. ARGGGHHHHHH. :(

Thanks but it's not a brand/model issue, it's a I picked the wrong place to order
the part from issue and now I've got more work to do. I'm just venting because
I'm already frustrated with this whole thing and this wrong gov isn't helping.

Clearly whomever makes the decision on what accessories to purchase has no
understanding that there is a difference between what governors are needed
for wide vs narrow deck, or they would have stocked and recommended the
P-860-5 governor from the beginning, and the wide deck Hartzell, making the
narrow deck models the exception.

When I was making this decision, I spoke with the service guys at the
largest prop shops in the country, and asked them, which governors do they
"never" see for maintenance. They have a good perspective of how this stuff
holds up years or hundreds or hours later. The feedback I got was they
never see PCU governors, rock solid.
