Hello,
Hanging my BPE IO-320-X on monday, and while mounting the MT prop govenor, took a look at the actuation arm, and tried to figure out its proper orientation. How should that arm be oriented to use the standard firewall penetration location for the prop, directly infront of the left seat? The arm is spring loaded, and I'm guessing that should be spring loaded towards full forward on the prop lever, and then pulled back (coarse pitch) against the spring?
Seems like the arm should be approximately at 1 oclock when in the full fine position, and back at the 8 oclock in full coarse pitch. When looking from the aft side of the engine.
Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
