 TM 55-1905-217-12
If quick warm-up is attempted by burning the propeller,
the ship must be securely tied to the clock with no loose
lines or floating obstructions to foul the propeller.
(5) Set governor no-load top speed. Usually the
top no-load speed is set the same on both governors of
twin units before the engines leave the factory. If check
as outlined below shows top no-load speeds to be
different on the two governors, correct as follows:
(a) With both engines warmed up, stop engines and
disconnect throttle control rod (11, fig. 4-27) for "B"
engine by removing pin at clevis (14).
(b) Start "D" engine, declutch and move master
throttle to "FULL" open position.
(c) Note and record maximum no-load speed as
indicated by tachometer.
