My Dad and I both have Rovers with the Suzuki 2 stroke. My dad bought his (steel mulching base) back in the 80s and it is still running today. Mine (aluminium base with catcher) I bought second hand and it came with two and a half spare engines and the original owners manual, brochure and display card from the dealer which I thought was cute.
Lately I have had some trouble with mine, it just screams and screams, running way too fast.
It is like the governor lever cannot overcome the spring, even when the throttle is only barely on. You remove the Spring and the engine will run but obviously cannot self regulate when you hit a thick patch of grass.
Does anyone have any idea on what I can do to even begin trouble shooting this? The mower ran great when I got it but has since developed this issue. I have been using it without the spring installed so that I can actually cut my grass I want it to run like it should.
Thanks everyone! Tim
