A governor comprising a metering valve member slidable within a bore to control the degree by which an outlet is obscured, the valve member and bore together defining first and second chambers. The governor also comprises a restricted flow passage whereby fuel can flow from the first chamber to the second chamber at a restricted rate, and a control valve controlling communication between the second chamber and a low pressure reservoir. The control valve is adjustable by means of a centrifugal weight mechanism.
