Have any of you guys changed governer weights on a p-pump before? Or know how it's done or where I could go to find out how it's done. Is it something one CAN do on their own. Or should it be sent out to the professionals. I would prefer to do it on my own. I'm quite sure sending it out could be long and costly. If you can do it yourself where would you find new weights to increase your RPMs. Much appreciation for any info.

Depending on how many rpms you are wanting, you can go inside the gov and raise the rpms up by increasing the tension on the main gov spring inside the gov. Look on top of the govenor housing and you will see an allen head plug about the size of a 50 cent piece, take the plug out, put the throttle lever in the idle position and look down inside the govenor for either an allen head screw or a straight blade screw that is part of the throttle shaft. The screw is a four sided shank screw and will click as you turn it. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the tension on the spring which increases engine rpms. When a pump is repaired at a fuel shop this screw is set to give the correct speed for throttle travel and govenor regulation. If you want more speed than this, you grind metal off the govenor weights to reduce the rotating mass. It's a simple balance of rotating mass and gov spring tension. These are the two easiest and cheapest ways to gain rpms. I hope this helps.

post the question on turbodieselregister.com you will find the answer there , it's a very tricky subject and in my opinion with less than professional results , it varies according to the fuel plate used.
