When you're running your riding mower, yourthrottle setting regulates the amount of air that makes itsway into the fuel-air mixture, changing the speed at which yourengine runs. It doesn't necessarily control the speed of themower itself, but merely the speed of theengine.
Accordingly, should I run my mower at full throttle?
Run it at full throttle A: Absolutely–and in fact, you should! Youare correct in observing that your cut quality is betterwhen your mower operates at full throttle.Lawn equipment (including lawn mowers, lawntractors, and even trimmers and blowers) is designed to runat full throttle to give the bestperformance.
- Loosen the set screw in the center of the air filter with aflathead screwdriver.
- Tighten the idle adjustment screw, found on the side of thecarburetor, by turning it clockwise just to the point where youfeel it lightly touching the seat of the carburetor.
Just so, how do I fix the throttle cable on my lawn mower?
How to Replace & Adjust the Throttle Cable on aLawnmower
- Remove the cable housings using a pair of pliers. The housingswill swivel off the base and slide down the cable.
- Thread the cable wire through the housing.
- Slide the cable through the housing and then into the handleunit to attach it to the throttle handle.
- Test the tension by replacing the throttle.
Re: Mower rpm Now with that said assuming your mower is a 21inch blade, the maximum legal limit is 3400 RPM. On theother side of the coin is engine wear. 3200 RPM on a splashoil system is really pushing a small engine.
