All,
I was wondering if you ever had much problem with the prop governor? It surges sometimes, just for a second or two. The last several flights it has been over-speeding momentarily before the governor grabs it and brings it back into range (<2700RPM) during takeoff. My A&P has adjusted the high RPM stop down twice, and it appears to have limited the over-speed range down to 2740-2800 before the governor brings it back to 2640 during take off. It was spitting a little grease at me too on the windshield, but now that it tops out at 2800, it doesn't do that.
I was wondering if you had any thoughts on it. My A&P plans to adjust it down further a third time to see if it will not momentarily surge above 2700RPM.
Thanks,
Tim
p.s. I had it bench-tested two annuals ago, and the tester said it checked out fine. Maybe it's worn since then?
