226 power unit governor adjustment screw

[alex olson]

i have a 226 power unit (d17 motor) on the governor there is an
adjustment screw that i don"t believe is on the d17 (not sure) can
this be used to get more revs out of the motor if adjusted
correctly? if not what does it do i have included a picture thanks

it acts as a throttle stop the further its turned in the less it lets the carb open.

So what if I back it out more

if the bolt is hitting the arm then backing it out will raise the rpms .the bolt basically keeps the lever that the carb rod goes to from rotating back as far as it can travel . of coarse gov.spring tension and length also comes into play .
