Nice job Tom, it's good you didn't have to tear into it, now you have time to play with your dog and Kat 🙂 👍

Very nice. I thought for sure you were going to have to tear into it.

Your last video (which I NEEDED) was so interesting that it compelled me to watch another just for fun. You truly are a wizard, sir. Oh, and this mower looks like something out of a Steven King movie. Yikes. 😆

Good practice to do static governor adjustment after after any carb r&r

I find these governor adjustments get difficult when the governor gear shaft has backed off from the crankcase cover. This leads to the governor shaft adjustment not having enough throw to push the counterweights in.

Pressure washers are very interesting. Manufactures recommend direct drive pumps run at 3400rpm. This is not the case, most run at 2400 under load and 2500 without load.

Hey sir. I have an older Echo SRM-210 trimmer and it will idle fine but won't rev up. It will start to rev then it just acts up. It has a Zama RB-K75 should I try to rebuild it or what should I check.

Nice Tom did you have the throttle at full speed when you set the Governor.

Great job, is that governor adjustment a common one?
