* Flyweight Governor: This is common in smaller engines. It's usually a centrifugal device located on the crankshaft or connected to it. Identifying and removing this often requires disassembling parts of the engine (possibly the carburetor or flywheel) to access the governor mechanism.
* Throttle Governor: This type restricts the throttle's range of motion. It might be a simple screw, a linkage adjustment, or a more complex mechanical device connected to the carburetor or throttle cable.
* Electronic Governor: Less common on older minibikes but possible on some 196cc engines. This involves an electronic control unit (ECU) that limits engine speed. Removing this requires understanding the engine's electrical system and potentially modifying or bypassing the ECU's controls. This is more advanced and potentially risky.
To remove the governor safely and effectively, you need:
1. Identify the Engine: Find the manufacturer's name and model number on the engine. This information is crucial for finding specific removal instructions. A photo would be helpful.
2. Consult a Repair Manual: A repair manual specific to your engine model is invaluable. It will show you diagrams of the engine's internal components and provide step-by-step instructions for disassembly and governor removal.
3. Gather the Right Tools: You'll likely need various tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, possibly a flywheel puller, and possibly specialized tools depending on the governor's design.
4. Safety First: Disconnect the spark plug before starting any disassembly to prevent accidental starting. Wear safety glasses and gloves. Be careful when handling sharp parts and potentially hot components.
5. Document the Process: Take photos or make detailed notes as you disassemble the engine. This will be essential when reassembling it.
WARNING: Removing the governor will likely increase the engine's speed and power, potentially making it unsafe. Improper removal can also damage the engine. If you're not mechanically inclined and comfortable with engine repair, it's strongly recommended to seek the help of a qualified mechanic. Modifying the engine can void warranties. Increased engine speed might also lead to premature wear and tear.
