A set of springs inside the injection pump use the engine RPM to reduce (defuel) the amount of fuel going to the injectors to limit the maximum engine RPM. Same idea as a rev limiter on a gasser's ignition.

A GSK (governer spring kit) will allow you to increase the RPM limit to around 3000 RPM (3K) or 4000 RPM (4K) before it starts cutting back on fuel.

So you can get a 3K GSK and a 4K GSK with different springs in each kit.
