We are an inspection away from first flight in O360-A1D powered 6 with a CS Hartzell prop. The prop and engine came as a pair from a 180 hp Piper Arrow. Prop went to the prop shop, governor was bench tested and had seals replaced about 5 years ago. The governor does not seem very aggressive in cycling the prop although it does draw the rpm down/MP up. If the oil temps get to 200 degrees (which happens doing ground runs) the prop control gets very stiff and it does not cycle very well at all (will only drop 300 to 400 rpm and takes a while to do it).
Does anyone have any ideas? Any recommendations on someone to take a look at the governor who is reasonable with a quick turnaround time (this thing is ready to fly!)
Thanks,
