A weak governor spring, damaged linkage or control panel, something in the wrong location. If it’s none of that, live with 3550...

I've got it up to 3550 (no load) by my tach. I'm still puzzled why I'm limited RPMs after new rings installed. Valves were lapped and...

Don’t waste your time. If the engine otherwise runs smoothly, valve lash will not increase rpm.

The high idle spec for this engine is 3600 +/- 100. I am thinking that when you are adjusting the governor, you are using the throttle...
