happy result today.. my mistake was to have my top and bottom valves the wrong ways, and hence the settings. I have taken notes (for 'never again') a little bit surging with the governor, but this is a better mower than I purchased it as. the guy who sold it to me at 470 hours had to fiddle with the throttle to get it to start. obviously now, those valves needed lapping. I might think about changing the governor springs (external ones) . but with this power now I can do my slope (10 degrees up and down I will go) under the power lines.. what I call bamboo wars. will need a better handbrake solution though. I wonder if I got a sprocket chain tensioner and make that a brake, might anyone have a photo of the models that do have a brake in that area?
also this part is too clean to be something not taken out recently... any ideas? the hole is too small for the push rods. and I only have one of them... the outside has a spring thing on it.
