 FUEL SYSTEM
SYSTEMS OPERATION
Governor accumulator oil pressure is changed to
a restricted variable (pulsating) oil flow as small holes
(ports) in the pilot valve bushing move past a passage in
the controlet housing. In a constant speed opera- tion,
the ball valve is not tight against its seat and lets oil flow
back to the sump. The ball valve is held in position by
the sensing bellows, which is connected to inlet manifold
air pressure. The force used to hold the ball valve is
proportional to the inlet manifold air pressure.
As inlet manifold air pressure increases, the ball
valve makes contact with its seat and oil pressure
increases to move the limiter piston to the right against
the force of the restoring spring. This movement
increases the tension on the restoring spring until the
spring force is in balance with the sensing bellows force.
The oil pressure now can push the ball valve off its seat
and let a small amount of oil flow to the sump. This
reduces the pressure behind the limiter piston and the
piston stops movement.
