I have been reading about the govenor "mods" that some people have tried.
I stayed late at work tonight and took apart an old 1.6L NA injection pump to have a look-see.
I searched the forums and found that some people shim the main spring and one person completely
removed both springs.
see photos below.
Am I wrong here.. but with both springs gone.. so is the govenor?
I made the same piece as above with the plastic hose and then took it apart. I took the top of of my 1.9
pump and basically streched the longer of the 2 springs by pulling on it hard then added some more
shims to compress it more..
then put it all back together
I seem to notice more mid range torque.. and a DECENT more mid range smoke.
( guess that is due to the govenor not pulling the fueling out till later)
I am going to play with the main fueling screw tomorrow and turn it down a bit.
should I do something else?
thanks
