Default How Does the Governor Work...G16

Hi guys...you all know I've been playing with an Equus tach.

I've read all of your helpful posts, and I am appreciative. I still need to order the splice and maybe a new plug...but there's something about the tach that makes me wonder.

When the tach is hooked up...it reads right to 3200...then drops to about 1200. When I get off the gas...then back on...it'll be okay again until 3200. I mean...it's always right at 3200.

Even after fiddling with the governor...same thing.

Okay...so I'm wondering...is there some sort of spark shut off...or partial spark shut off at a given RPM? That would explain the tach shutting off.

How is the G16 governed?

Thanks

The governor is mechanical, no spark shut off.

Like Ron said and it simply keeps the throttle in the carb from opening all the way. The governor works off a bearing and spring type collar that moves it back and forth in relation to rpms.
