[Vwdiesel] Injector Pump Speed Stability & Genset Use

[James Hansen]

You need to take the pump into your friendly local Bosch shop and have them
change the governor to a constant speed type- basically the full throttle
rpm is set to your working speed.  When the solenoid for generator load
kicks in, it pulls the throttle lever wide open, which is then your working
speed, not redline. I'm not sure if you can do this just with changes to the
high idle rpm limit, IIRC it may be an internal governor adjustment.
