Engine overspeeding? Unstable RPM or engine hunting?
Diesel governor faults often cause unstable engine speed, overspeeding, hunting or engines not holding RPM under load. If you're experiencing any of the following issues, proper governor testing and calibration can identify the problem before unnecessary parts are replaced.
Common signs your diesel governor may need repair or calibration:
- Engine overspeeding or not holding set RPM
- Engine hunting or fluctuating speed
- Unstable idle or surging RPM
- Engine speed too high or too low under load
- Poor engine performance or fuel efficiency
