(b) RLD type governor <Option: 4D31-T>

The RLD governor is an all-speed governor providing smaller lever reaction.

1) Flyweights

The flyweight holder is mounted on the injection pump camshaft and the flyweights pivot
about the pin press-fitted into the flyweight holder. When the flyweights move outward
under centrifugal force, the sliders on their arm ends pushed the sleeve in the axial
direction. The sleeve is connected via bearing to the shifter which is pinned directly to the
bottom of the tension lever. So, the flyweights impart their motion through the shifter to
the tension lever.

2) Link

The RLD governor link operates as follows to regulate and control all speeds.

Among the idling, governor, and start springs, only the start spring retains the initially set
tension. So, the flyweights start to move out under the centrifugal force more than the set
tension of start spring. They move further outward as the engine speed increases, and
the motion is transmitted to the tension lever, gradually putting more tension on the idling
and governor springs. The guide lever is moved integrally with the tension lever by the
set tension of cancel spring A to displace the ball joint.

By placing the adjusting lever gradually from the idle to full position when the guide lever
ball joint is located at Po with engine stationary, the supporting lever moves to cause the
floating lever to pivot about Po. (The point Po is a fixed point since the guide lever moves
integrally with the tension lever by the set tension of cancel spring A.) This causes the
control rack to move from Ro in the direction of greater fuel delivery. When the rack
reaches Ra, the full load position determined by the torque cam, Ra becomes fixed to
