Abstract
A governor for use in an engine provided with an overspeed protection device arranged to trip in the event that engine speed exceeds a predetermined speed. The governor comprises a centrifugal weight mechanism comprising at least one weight coupled to an angularly adjustable metering valve member through a lever member, the metering valve member being operable to control the level of fuelling of the associated engine depending on engine speed. The governor further comprises a damping arrangement associated with the lever member which is arranged to damp oscillatory movement of the lever member, in use, and a prevention arrangement for preventing the overspeed protection device associated with the engine tripping upon engine start up.
