Lorenzo,
The genset has had the problem since the
boat came to us.
There is certainly an adjustment to control
generator RPMs. I have tinkered with that to change the no load speed of the genset. The issue is how much it drops under load.
I am in agreement that either the weights in the governor or the springs require service/replacement. I just haven't had the time to tackle this problem just yet.
In the meantime, I'll continue gathering information.
Someone with this specific genset must have experienced the same problem.....

The manual governor (speed control ) normally has an adjustment to adjust speed droop If the change is consistent, then it may be a matter of a linkage adjustment. Did this condition occur gradually or a step change? A broken preload spring could cause this problem
