Cummins 4BT – Governor Malfunctions

Balance between the governor flyweights and control le­ver position controls the metering of the amount of fuel to
be injected.
The fuel injection pump governor performance and set­ting can affect engine power. Special equipment and qual­ified personnel are required to verify governor perfor­mance. If the seals are broken on the external Robert Bosch VE adjustment screw, the fuel rate may be out of adjustment.

The Lucas CAV D PA/D PS fuel injection pump uses a coded spring connection to change the governor setting.
Incorrect connection of the governor spring can affect performance.
Adjustments and rating changes are described in this section.
