By Accident. Hit a hedge branch and knocked the throttle spring off. The thing died. So I wheeled my new Yardman to the garage (21" 6hp OHV with a T-6 tranny hehe, yes, a 6-speed walk behind). Anyways, the spring was tweaked from the branch collision so I had to use the next tighter spring coil and WAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif

Now my baby runs 200 RPM faster and it sizzles across the lawn in 1/3 less time./forums/images/icons/laugh.gif That Briggs and Stratton is a screamer compared to the other dull sounding mowers in the neighborhood!!!

Yes, I have too much time on my hands, and no, I didn't get any mustang work done this weekend....

Hey guys, if yall want any clues on how to hop those Briggs engines up a little you should have asked, I have worked for 16 years at the briggs plant in Ky. I know just about all the tricks. If you want to make that baby really hummm, find a cast iron flywheel off of a pressure washer engine. Mowing at 3000+ rpms?? Now that is mowing.. HeHe.. Daryl

I once swapped engines in an old riding mower and ended up with a bad pulley mismatch. This caused (so I'm told) the blade tips to exceed the speed of sound. It sure sounded like a jet. If you hit a rock, it would clear the house easy. Scared hell out of the neighbors. I came off the money and bought the correct diameter pulleys, vehicle and house glass gets expensive fast. But boy for a while I could chop down anything AND sling it halfway across the yard!
