The second nut is a loose jam nut. To increase the speed of the engine
loosen this jam nut and take hold of the thumb nut and turn it back
slowly, watching the motion of your engine all the while. When you have
obtained the speed you require, run the thumb nut down as tight as you
can with your fingers. Never use a wrench on these nuts. To slow or
slacken the speed, loosen the jam nut as before, except that you must
run it up a few turns, then taking hold of the thumb nut, turn down
slowly until you have the speed required, when you again set the thumb
nut secure. In regulating the speed, be careful not to press down on
the stem when turning, as this will make the engine run a little slower
than it will after the pressure of your hand is removed.
If at any time your engine refuses to start with an open throttle,
notice your governor stem, and you will find that it has been screwed
down as far as it will go. This frequently happens with a new engine,
the stem having been screwed down for its protection in transportation.
In traveling through timber with an engine, be very careful not to let
any over-hanging limbs come in contact with the governor.
