Everything runs great with the exception of the Prop Governor direction. The unit came off a Lake Amphibian LA-4-200 with a different prop. Unfortunately it seems to work backwards, the engine smoothes out and rpm increases when you pull the lever back. We believe we have the wrong Gov and it is time for a replacement. Here are the specifics: Prop: New Hartzell, HC-C2YR-1BFP/F7497 Engine: IO-360-AIB 200 Hp Hartzell Prop. Gov: The alum. tag is hard to read. Model F-6-5 ** Prior Aircraft: Lake LA-4-200 Ser. No. 465 My question; is there a preferred Prop Governor on the market for this prop & engine combination? I read on the Hartzell site the recommended Hartzell governor is the S-1-10. Any comments or recommendations? Thanks, Robin RV-4 Sold RV-6A Sold RV-10 210 Hours RV-8A Soon ** Model F-6-5 I'm sure about the "F" and the "6", pretty sure about the "5", it could have another digit after the 5, can't tell. Ser. no. -7310T, the dash could be an "A" or "?-" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv8-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV8-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv8-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv8-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
