HYDRAULIC GOVERNORS Proceed with instruction (3). If necessary repeat (4), (5), and (3) until adjustment is satisfactory. Desirable needle valve opening is from 1/8 to 1/4 turn open. It is desirable to have as little compensation as possible. Closing the needle valve farther than necessary will make the governor slow to return to normal speed after a load change. Excessive dashpot plunger travel caused by adjustment of the compensation adjusting pointer too far toward maximum position will cause excessive speed change upon load change.
