4. Accomplishment Instructions
A. Spring change instructions and test requirements for main fuel controls are as
follows:
(1) If component is at repair facility for spring change only, and no other repair
is being performed or received with a reported problem, replace spring as
directed below and perform final test specification points per Table 6 to
return unit to service.
(2) If component is at repair facility for repair (other than spring change) and/or
overhaul, replace spring as directed in the appropriate CMM and perform
complete final test specification as directed in the appropriate
manual/Service Bulletin.
B. Replacement of affected main fuel control governor and speed bias springs shall
be performed as follows:
(1) Using the appropriate CMM, disassemble the major components to gain
access to the springs.
(a) Remove safety wire from threaded end of eccentric shaft. Remove nut
and washer from end of eccentric shaft using an Allen wrench.
(b) Note the position of the eccentric shaft and scribe a mark on the body
corresponding with the scribe on the eccentric shaft.
(d) Carefully lift cam follower lever up and forward. Remove governor
spring.
(b) Remove self-locking nut from the adjusting screw in the speed bias
lever.
(a) Install new speed bias spring on lever assembly and adjusting screw.
(b) Install new self-locking nut until the appropriate number of threads are
visible.
(c) Install new governor spring onto cam follower lever assembly.
(e) Reinstall eccentric shaft. Turn shaft in until it reaches its original
position and scribe mark on end of shaft matches up with the scribed
mark on the body.
(5) Remove cotter pin and vent screen (or plug, if appropriate) from main flow
body.
(6) Assemble main flow body to drive body. Before installing three screws to
secure main body to drive body, view cam of the cam follower to be certain it
is riding properly on the cam of the throttle shaft.
(9) After testing is completed, reinstall screen (or plug, where appropriate) with
new cotter pin.
(1) Using the appropriate CMM, disassemble the major components to gain
access to the spring. Protect the cover assembly as directed.
(2) Remove and replace the governor spring in the following manner:
(a) Note the position of the eccentric shaft and scribe a mark on the body
corresponding with the scribe on the eccentric shaft.
(c) Turn eccentric shaft out using an Allen wrench and remove it.
(d) Lift cam follower lever assembly up and forward. Remove governor
spring from cam lever assembly and adjusting screw.
(e) Install new spring on adjusting screw and cam lever assembly.
(g) Check to be sure guide post on bearing assembly rides properly in the
slot of the governor lever assembly.
(3) Assemble cover assembly and drive body assembly. Safety wire eccentric
shaft as directed in appropriate CMM.
(4) Recalibrate the PTG as described in the appropriate CMM and/or Service
Bulletin.
