摘要

A governor arrangement for an internal combustion engine is disclosed which comprises a plurality of weights (1) rotatable with a rotatable drive shaft (2) and pivotable with respect to the shaft (2). The weights (1) are engageable with a washer (9) which, in turn, engages a sleeve (3). The sleeve (3) engages a lever the position of which is used to control the setting of a metering valve. A hydrodynamic bearing arrangement is provided between the sleeve (3) and washer (9). A drive arrangement may be provided to drive the washer (9) when the rotational speed of the shaft (2) is insufficient to cause the weights (1) to move the sleeve (3).
