Paul, that other pic is a different gov.

Mike has it right, you can clock the PCU5000 wherever you want it without removing the arm or totally removing the screws.

Gents,
I just wanted to chime in here. It's best to just loosen the 6 screws and rotate to the desired angle. There are 2 potential issues if you remove the screws completely.

1 - When you try to put the screws back in you may put them in the wrong holes. The holes alternate (every other hole is metric, the others are standard).

2 - as you open the head there is a possibility that you could unseat some internal components. It's not very likely but not worth messing with.

The biggest issue that Chief Pilot experienced is if you remove the lever from the shaft. It will take you forever and a day to figure out how the lever needs to be positioned on the shaft. Typically the governors get sent back to us to test and set the RPM correctly.

I hope you're up and running but if you have any issues please don't hesitate to call us.

I have a PCU5000 on a -7 I purchased and don't think I have any information about it.

Is PCUxxxx a model name or company name?

Where is it made?

Is there a manual or similar available for it and where do I find it?

The short version is. It's made by a Czech company called Jihostroj. They were rebranded in the US as Aero Technologies. And maybe now just called the PCU5000 with some model variables I believe. I'm not flying yet so I can't say first hand but it came very highly recommended by several people and my engine builder so I bought one....
