GOVERNOR CUTOFF RPM TESTING - CONTINUED
27. Continued
Fuel pump (1)
g.
If cutoff rpm is too low, remove barrel
assembly cover (2) and add shims. If
cutoff rpm is too high, remove shims.
(See Fuel Pump, page 2-289.)
Each 0.001 in. (0.025 mm) shim
thickness will change speed approxi-
mately two rpm. Shims are available in
0.005-, 0.007-, 0.010-, and
0.020-inch (0.13, 0.18, 0.25, and
0.51 mm) thickness.
CAUTION
Do not hold throttle lever in idle position any longer than necessary to complete test.
Pump may overheat, since fuel flow is used to cool the pump.
h . Air must be purged from fuel pump. With
fuel pump at 500 rpm, move throttle lever
(3) back and forth until rotameter shows
no air, and recheck governor cutoff
rpm.
THROTTLE TESTING AND ADJUSTING
CAUTION
Do not hold throttle lever in idle position any longer than necessary to complete test.
Pump may overheat, since fuel flow is used to cool the pump.
NOTE
This setting controls fuel leakage inside fuel pump, to control deceleration time, and
keeps fuel in all lines during closed throttle position, preventing air locks.
A test cycle is one-half minute duration.
28. Test stand (4)
Fuel pump (1) and
throttle lever (3)
Test and adjust throttle leakage as
follows:
a.
Increase fuel pump speed to 2100 rpm.
b.
Place selector valve (5) to ROTAMETER
position.
This is to see if any air is In system.
c.
Set fuel flow control valve (8) for 315
lb/hr reading.
At 2100 rpm, fuel flow should be 315
Ib/hr.
