Just got the governor back from rebuild.  Seems like the prop governor control arm is 180 degrees off. Cable comes from pilot side of firewall and with control arm in down orientation, pushing cable in pushes against spring which  is Low rpm when it should be high rpm????

You can change the orientation of the control arm by loosening the six screws on the back and rotating the assembly to the desired orientation.

Really, that’s it?  Don’t have to disassemble the unit?
