Question 45Motor Plants - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is A) the governor is linked to the fuel injection pump by vertical linkage. In an auxiliary diesel engine, the governor is responsible for regulating the engine's speed and fuel delivery. The governor is directly connected to the fuel injection pump via a vertical linkage, which allows the governor to adjust the fuel supply to the engine in response to changes in load or speed. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) the explosion relief doors are not clearly visible in the given illustration, C) the camshaft typically rotates at half the speed of the crankshaft in a four-stroke diesel engine, and D) the engine oil filter is usually located near the engine block, not outboard of the electric starter.
