I am interested in getting more top end out of a tecumseh, I realize that there is very little that can be done to these engines, but am interested in adjusting the governor a little. I see near the throttle linkage the connections to what I think is the goverenor, a couple of little metal rods, attatched to the linkage and to another part with numbers to adjust something. I am looking in the right place? If not ,what should i be doing? thanks!

actually i would leave it alone, the connecting rod is the most of the worry since its built for the set rpms, whats it on, a go-cart?

yes its on a go cart...are you sure not to touch it, even if i left it for a little while, is it still a bad idea?

well for a little while, maybe. but it will add more stress to the connecting rod.

how do i do it?
