If it's a governor for a constant speed unit you don't directly set the prop pitch through any setting. What your actually setting is the RPM. The CSU sets the prop pitch to what ever it needs to maintain the RPM at a given throttle setting if it can (any where between coarse and fine).

It's hard to see but if you look at the cut away diagram on the link, the disk is attached to the "speed control shaft" (No 1 on the diagram, but then again my eyes are dim and weak with old age)
