SEAL-O-RING 5P8356 - Caterpillar

Engine rpm must be checked with an accurate tachometer. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Engine Speed Measurement".Mechanical Governor Adjustments
Low Idle and High Idle Adjustment
Start the engine and run until normal operating temperature is reached. Check the low idle and the high idle rpm with no load on the engine. If an adjustment is necessary, use the following procedure:

Mechanical governor
(1) Cover
(2) Adjustment screw
Remove cover (1) from the top of the governor's housing.
Turn adjustment screw (2) in order to change the high idle rpm.
Move the governor lever in order to change the rpm of the engine.
Move the governor lever back to the original position.
If necessary, repeat Step 2 through Step 4.
When the correct high idle speed is obtained, install cover (1).
If necessary, adjust the low idle rpm. To adjust the low idle rpm, adjust the throttle linkage. Refer to Testing and adjusting, "Carburetor - Adjust". Woodward PSG Governor Adjustments
Perform the following procedures after the linkage for the governor has been adjusted. Refer to Specifications, "Governor Linkage".Initial Operation
Perform the following procedure for a new governor or for a governor that has been serviced:

Electric Woodward PSG Governor
(1) Knob
(2) Compensating valve
Start the engine and allow the engine to run until normal operating temperature is achieved.
Adjust the engine speed, if necessary. If you have an electric governor, use the remote control and the motor for the speed adjustment.If you have a nonelectric governor, turn knob (1) or turn the adjusting screw.
Open compensating valve (2) for one to two turns. The engine will hunt. Allow the engine to run for about 1/2 minute while the valve is open. This will allow air to be purged out of the governor's oil passages.
Gradually close compensating valve (2) until the hunting stops. Note: Do not close the valve too far. This could cause the governor to react slowly after a load change.Adjusting the High Idle Stop
Start the engine. Run the engine until normal operating temperature is achieved.

Typical nonelectric PSG governor
(1) Stop screw
(2) Adjusting screw
Loosen the locknut for stop screw (1). Turn the stop screw counterclockwise for approximately two turns.
With the stop screw in this position, the engine can overspeed. This can cause damage to the engine components. Be ready to shutdown the engine if it has an overspeed condition.
Adjust the engine to the desired high idle rpm. If you have an electric governor, use the remote control and the motor for the speed adjustment.If you have a nonelectric governor, turn the knob or turn adjusting screw (1).
After the desired high idle rpm is reached, turn stop screw (1) clockwise until the screw stops. Tighten the locknut. Observe the engine rpm on the tachometer. If the engine speed is still correct, the adjustment is correct.Checking the Speed Droop
This engine has adjustable speed droop. The adjustable speed droop is between zero and seven percent. This amount will be different for different applications. This percent of adjustable speed droop is the percent between the high idle speed (no load) and the engine full load speed. In order to
