"Hi, after puting a new head on my engine, I'm having a problem getting the governor setting right.
Variable speed gov. on 6-71TI marine engine. Have set every thing to spec. per shop manual
When the engine is cool I get a nice idle ~850 rpm. I can put it in gear and the gov. takes the load of the propeller just fine.
When the engine is hot (Normal Operating temp)and I put it into gear the engine stalls unless I increase the idle revs to 1200.
It acts like the propeller shaft packing is to tight , But I can turn the shaft by hand. So it is something with the Gov. setting not allowing the gov to respond quick enough when hot, to the change in load like the buffer screw in to much or something? any ideas out there?? Thank You"
