BTW, just finished a modification to the governor system this morning which gives me adjustable gain on the control system. I'd replaced all the sloppy pins with #10 AN grade aircraft bolts and that pretty much eliminated all the slop in the linkages. I still intend to do something with ball joints eventually, but this seems to be working for now. I'm really anxious for the weather to clear up so I can dial in my new adjustments. I'm hopeful they'll allow me to hold AC frequency MUCH tighter. (I'm not going to be happy until I can hold +/- 0.5hz)chris
As I sit here and type, my Listeroid is bolted securely to a ton or more of reinforced concrete. The bad thing is that the concrete is 75 miles of snow-closed road from me! The trailer seems a good idea about now. Good job! Tell me about the blue hoses with no clamps...
JT,I've been following the AVR thread closely and am interested to try that mod out as well. I've been very tempted to build a fully electronic throttle control system (I do that kind of stuff for a living) but I appreciate the simplicity and durability of a totally mechanical system. If this latest modification works out as well as I hope, it will provide the frequency stability I'm looking for.I've posted some additional pictures of both the thermostat housing and the governor mods in case anyone is interested.(they're below the pictures of the trailer)http://members.cox.net/cschuerm2/Chris Chris, reading the latest post brought me to this one, I too cannot see the photos. Anyway to cut to the chase, you may be someone who would be able to say whether or not a 90s style cable operated auto cruise control system would be easily adaptable to be an engine speed controller (which I guess it already is ) as the real deal G.A.C type engine speed controllers don`t crop up very often.
