Is the rod end supposed to nearly touch the bottom of the governor at the full forward position? Tried adjusting the arm. Tried adjusting the length of the control a bit, but you really don't have too margin to move it back and forth. In fact, I needed to make it as short as possible, so the rod end is screwed all the way in.

No. It should definitely no touch. Control cables (Mix, throttle, prop) must hit their stops w/o interference. I have come across this on 180s before. You will have to remove material inside the swing of the bracket so that the entire swing arm can move further.

You mean increase the curved 'track' on the propeller control arm? Or, oval-ize the hole where the rod end attaches?

Have you tried moving the arm one tooth on the governor?

You mean re-indexing the governor arm itself one spline over. Thinking about that now.

Only if the fine pitch stop isn’t incorporated into the arm, that could screw things up.

I don't see the problem here.
The key word of course is "nearly".
