Regulator for a fuel injection pump

In an r.p.m. regulator of a fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, including a fuel supply quantity setting member, a control spring mechanism having a preloaded control spring, a control lever connected to the control spring mechanism and to the fuel supply quantity setting member for actuating said fuel supply quantity setting member, said control lever being pivotably mounted between its connected ends, a setting lever, said control spring being connected to said setting lever and to said control lever thereby applying its preload to said control lever, and an r.p.m.-dependent force applying means engaging said control lever between its ends for applying thereto an r.p.m. dependent force in opposition to the force exerted by said control spring, the improvement comprising:

• a. a first connecting member connected to said setting lever;
• and
• b. a second connecting member connected to said control lever, both said connecting members being part of said control spring mechanism, wherein said first connecting member is connected to that end of said control spring furthest from said setting lever and said second connecting member is connected to that end of said control spring furthest from said control lever, and wherein said control spring is a compression spring.
