A governor (10) for an internal combustion engine has a resiliently biased flyweight influenced reciprocating member (26) for controlling the supply of fuel pumped to the engine. A means (39) is connected to the member (26) and is rotatable between a first position at which a first adjusting screw (42) is positioned for engagement with a first stop means (28) for establishing a first power setting of the engine and a second position at which a second adjustable screw (43) is positioned for engagement with a second stop means (29) for establishing a second power setting of the engine. The first and second stop means (28,29) are yieldable to control the lug characteristic and torque rise of the engine.
