Pull/bend the right spring and it should revs it's tits off.

[Sir Tigger KC]

You never need to tinker with an electric mower, just plug it in and away you go!

So, Mr YZ, which spring?  They both appear to be pulling the throttle in the same direction?  Note, the top one barely does anything, no matter what position the throttle is in?
………

The long spring controls the governor but I’m trying to determine whether your front plate is fixed or not. I had an old Briggs and Stratton Series 35 (still got it somewhere) and the front plate swivels on that to control rpm. I can’t see the swivel plate on yours but that may be because you’ve been mowing a cornfield with it.     I’ll have a gander online at your model.

Just looking at this one and it’s not like the swivel plate. If you skip to 3.50 minutes you’ll see that he bends the arm on the short spring. Is this like yours. His problem is hunting so ignore the rest of the video.

Mine (and my neighbour's identical one), the tub under his finger at exactly 1m21 is bent down by 90 degrees, so that whole plate only swivels a few degrees.

[TheBoy]

Ah, watching the rest of that, so is his at the end.

Ah, I should read the last page of threads before replying

Yeah, but you'd still be pissing around with extension leads, whilst I'd fixed the mower, down the shopping, cut the grass, and supped beer.

Just like that.  Given how much slack there is in that spring, not sure how that can adjust RPM though?

I've acquired a G-tech, battery mower, on a normal sized lawn that isn't over say 2-3" in height it just about manages, if the grass is slightly damp or longer, it starts to struggle,, so that there Zider wombles who owns arf O dawsett he needs a big Ol petrol thingy,

G Tech is about the worse in the market for everything it makes. From lawn mowers to cordless vacs, they are universally shite.
Did I sound like Jaime then?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

This thread is done.

Old Tigger needs a petrol mower, no if's no buts.

Anyway, cordless mowers are for girlies and gay boys.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Did you seek advice on that from your gardner ? 

I can picture the scene.
