Question 232Motor Plants - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is C) carefully check for binding in the governor linkage. When a diesel generator governor is hunting, it is often due to an issue with the governor linkage. Binding or sticking in the linkage can prevent the governor from properly regulating the fuel supply, causing the hunting behavior. Checking the linkage for any issues like binding, wear, or misalignment is the appropriate next step after flushing the governor and adjusting the compensation needle valve. The other options are not the best course of action in this situation. Setting the speed droop adjustment to zero (A) would not address the root cause of the hunting. Calibrating the fuel pump rack settings (B) is not necessary if the issue is with the governor linkage. Checking the air intake manifold pressure (D) may not be relevant to the hunting problem.
