Abstract

Idling/final speed governor for internal combustion engines, having a centrifugal-weight regulator (4) which is used for controlling the idling and final speed and produces, against the force of control springs (8), a regulating force corresponding to the engine speed, having a coupling (9) present between a control rod (3), used for controlling the quantity, and the centrifugal-weight regulator (4), having a governor sleeve (7) which has a drag member and having a link (13) between an intermediate lever (12), belonging to the coupling (9), and the control rod (3), with this link (13) having a slide (26) which can be displaced in the quantity-regulating direction, is loaded by a starting spring (27) in the direction of increasing injection quantity and interacts with a full-load stop (32) which is fixed per se but can be changed as a function of operating parameters, such as, for example, by a supercharge-pressure regulator (33), with this change in the stop position signifying a control-travel change which is compensated by a deflection travel A of the drag member (14) in the governor sleeve (7).
