Subject: RV8-List: Governor Control Throws...


Dear Listers,

I've got the control cable going to the Governor working well and the routing under
the engine nicely aligned so that it doesn't touch the sump.  I've got a
question regarding the control throw limits, though.  Right now at HIGH RPM, the
control on the Governor is hitting the stop as it should.  No problem there.
However, on full LOW RPM, I'm about 1/8" away from hitting the stop on the
Governor.  I've fiddled around with the available adjustments 'til I'm blue in
the face and I just can't get that last little bit of LOW.  Given the angle of
the bracket, its kind of a pull backwards for the pushrod so its just never
really going to work with the current bracket.  My question is this: Does it really
matter?  When what the last time anyone actually had full LOW RPM setting?


Thoughts?

Thanks,

Matt Dralle
