Introducing myself

As a last resort you can adjust the air vane governor (to increase the engine speed) if you feel the engine is running too slow, you can adjust the engine RPM by turning the toothed wheel just below the air vane using this procedure. On the left side of the mower (as viewed from the operators position), grab the air vane with one finger (to keep it from pivoting) and turn the toothed wheel below it clockwise (or to the left from that position). Each click increases the engine RPM by 50-70 RPM.

I have a Duraforce 6.5 2 cycle, and I believe it is the best mower I ever owned. When mulching (which is all I ever do), the grass clippings do accumulate under the self propelled cover. Just a small screw to take it off and clean it, and it's ready to go. I have had this mower since 2004, and it really runs fast. I have learned to keep the carburetor clean, new plug every year, grease the fittings, and I would not trade this one for anything. Lawnboy always had a really good 2 cycle. Wish they still made them.
