REFLECTOR: Mt prop govener IO-540 300hp

[Kirk Aragon]

I'm interested in this type of information as well. I have a TO-360 with a Woodward governor (I don't see a data plate) and am experiencing surging "in the pattern." It's enough surging to be noticeable on the ground.

> I have the prop govenor that came with my engine, has anyone ever adjusted their own or asked a repair shop to remove the data plate and adjust your govenor to what you need to match a new prop?  Has anyone on the reflector gone through this situation already and know of a good repair shop to use. Information on the web about prop govenors seems to be scarce. As does information on what pressures are required for props. I know that there are others that have purchased used engines on the reflector, and someone should know a model number for a woodward govenor that would work.
