A Mechanical Question
A Mechanical Question
I got a new self propelled, push type lawn mower. But it goes so fast I almost have to run to keep up to it. How can I slow it down? The engine has no throttle control.
I called the toll free number on the manuel but after 45 minutes on hold I gave up.

I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.
Re: A Mechanical Question
You don't have any speed control by using the bail control bar as a throttle?
On mine, a Cub Cadet, I can let go of the bail control part way and it will slow down.
They advertise that it will know how fast I'm walking, and adjust it's speed, but that never seemed to work, at least not for me.
It's still a little bit of a pain, 'cuz of having to hold the bar part way under tension.
Hands and wrist start getting sore before I get the front done.
My back is more wide open and easier to handle at full throttle.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it. There's no going back, and we can only go forward before we run out of runway.

There's an app for that.

Re: A Mechanical Question
I'm sure the engine has a throttle control, but it's governed to run at a set RPM. Usually you can change that RPM point by bending a tab that holds a spring. If you posted a couple pictures of the carburetor it might be easy to identify.

0.00025% chance that man ever uses an app.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Re: A Mechanical Question
If you make a bet giving those odds, you'll lose. I'll never use a ap. I don't have a device for a ap and don't plan to ever have one.

Re: A Mechanical Question
On my Husqvarna, there's a tension adjuster that, when tightened, speeds up the self-propulsion. Conversely, loosening tension slows the speed down.

The closest that situation has ever come was during the pandemic. The Canada Border Services weren't allowing anyone to cross the Canada-US border without a ap. Fortunately they rescinded that rule in time for us to go to Florida.
