changing the speed on a 1006TG2A Perkins diesel engine

[HBpower]

Hi, I recently purchased a Perkins 1006TG2A Engine, I'd like to alter the speed from 1500 RPM to 1800 RPM as i'm not sure how to do this, any help in changing the speed of this perkins engine would be appreciated.

The Perkins 1006TG2A engine has a fuel pump where the speed can be changed. This engine is therefore adjustable between 1500-1800RPM. Note that this engine is "A" rated and is therefore not emission compliant to current EU mobile equipment regulations, hence why it is so easy to adjust.

On top of the fuel pump there is a gold coloured bolt that is locked in posistion by a couple of nuts. By loosening the nut and turning the bolt, the speed can be adjusted. When you have finished you should ensure you have again locked off the nut to make sure it does not move from the virbation under normal conditions.
