Abstract
A mechanical speed governor for internal combustion engines includes a centrifugal weight carrier and an arm means that extends through the top side of the upper engine housing. The arm means moves in response to movement by the centrifugal weight carrier to control the amount of fuel delivered for engine combustion. The governor arrangement avoids the oil seal and bell crank levers required in prior art devices.
