Actually if you stretch the spring you are lowering the RPM's.... The part that the spring is attatched to is bendable.. It doesn't take much to increase the rpm's......
Thanks, I stand corrected on the spring stretch, looking at the throttle lever again now I see it would in fact allow the governor to pull it more closed. It seems I get a little backwards in my decipher the older I get. And now that you point out the fact that it wouldn't take much bracket bend to increase rpm a little, (looking at my pic again) I guess I could bend the round (spring holding) tab down a bit. I'm hesitant to bend it upwards since there is a cover that mounts over. I think I will try that, if I can bend it without the whole bracket starting to deform sounds like a plan. Thanks again.
Edit add-> Oh and by the way as for the original issue of gas leaking out the carb, the new needle and seat appears to have stopped that issue. I ran it long enough to heat up good and then turned it off and looked back at it for bout a 1/2 hr afterwards and no leak at all now. Before it was puddling on the deck.
