Go for it Tony! You can whoop her a**.

The Kohler's top RPM is 3,600. You can destroy the engine if you go over that, don't want to do that. Our yard is not flat, just driving up and down a slope makes a big difference in the RPM's. I'm getting tired of always having to adjust the throttle. Snow blowing is even worse.

Your retired, so you have time to adjust the throttle...I'm just saying. Or you could wire up a MSD 6AL with a rev limiter and a 8" Super Tach....that would be cool.

This could be you after the govener is removed running at 3800 rpm.

I'm retired so I also have time to tear the engine apart. That sounds like more fun than playing with the throttle all the time.
