When faced with roughing on the governor, which part of the system is most likely causing the issue?

Governor bearings
Governor rope
Governor pulleys
Governor clamps

The correct answer is: Governor rope

The correct part causing roughing on the governor is the governor bearings. These bearings are essential components that support the governor's moving parts and allow them to operate smoothly. If the bearings are worn, damaged, or not properly lubricated, they can create excessive friction, leading to rough operation. While the governor rope, pulleys, and clamps are all important elements of the governor system, they do not directly affect the smoothness of the governor’s movement in the same way that bearings do. The rope might be involved in the overall tension and operation of the system, and the pulleys assist in redirecting the force. However, if the bearings themselves are compromised, it will directly lead to increased roughness, indicating that they are the primary concern in this situation.
