Abstract: A diesel engine fuel supply and control system for an engine having a fuel supply pump which has its direction of rotation in accord with the direction of engine rotation is provided with engine shutdown, anti-bump start and reverse rotation arresting means including, in a preferred embodiment, a pressure responsive piston that acts against a run-stop control lever to cut off fuel supply to the engine cylinders and a selector valve that selectively exposes the piston to pressures on either side of the engine fuel pump. When the valve is set to provide the normal pump inlet pressure to the piston, the engine may operate in the forward rotation direction but is stopped if reverse rotation occurs. If changed to expose the piston to normal pump outlet pressure, the engine is stopped or prevented from operating in the forward rotation direction.

Abstract: An idle speed-limiting speed engine governor utilizes a friction damped air piston as the sole speed setting means which actively opposes the speed responsive flyweights in a particular range of engine speed operation, the governor limiting speed being controllable by adjusting the air pressure acting against the piston. A minimum droop governor characteristic results with hysteresis limited by minimum friction damping of the piston. A multi-condition air pressure control system is disclosed which is capable of providing various operational modes for the air controlled limiting speed governor.

Abstract: A limiting speed mechanical engine governor has a speed responsive fuel decreasing mechanism opposed by a high speed spring, the effective force of which controls the maximum governed speed of the engine. A speed adjuster, such as an air actuated piston, is arranged to act against the operative end of the high speed spring to controllably reduce its preset speed setting force and thus provide for controlled reduction of the maximum governed speed of the engine. A control system is disclosed for use on a vehicle, such as a diesel engine powered truck, to permit using the variable maximum speed capability of the governor as a road speed control for the vehicle or to provide a reduced controlled engine speed for operating engine driven accessories when the vehicle is stationary.
