Abstract
The air vane governor has improved speed droop characteristics under no load and light load conditions to prevent engine stumbling. The air vane governor includes a primary spring and a secondary spring; both springs oppose the movement of the air vane at no load and light load conditions. At increased load, the secondary spring drops out. The tension on both springs is adjustable. The added spring force of the secondary spring makes the governor less sensitive at no load and light load, resulting in more even operation, particularly during engine warmup.
