Hi guys,

Just bought myself an Olympic 500 for a bargain ($80)

Started 2nd pull, and off she took. Luckliyi was holding on to the handlebars and was able to engage the clutch.

This is my first cylinder mower and just wanted to know is there anyway to dial back the speed these things move at. This mower just wants to take off.

I've only done a couple passes in the backyard with it, trialling dialling down the revs, but it still seems to be humming along real quick.

Im probably doing something wrong lol, but thought this was the place to get the best information.

Im going to be tidying her up, and repainting. Bloody stoked with my purchase thou (wife not so much lol)

Just lay new lawn out the front and can't wait to get this on it.

Have posted in correct forum. Apologies
