HONDA LAWNMOWER TUNE UP - Throttle Adjustment

[@stephenmorton4629]

Nice one. The hru at work is tweaked on the govner spring as well revs way to low factory. We also junked the flat blades n fitted 4 high lift blades better catching. Self drive in 3rd is way faster. I only use full noise in the wet n heavy mowing.

[@thegreenandgoldlife1464]

Cheers mate 🤙

Excellent video. Was at my wits end arguing with the local place I take my lawnmowers for a service. I asked for them to increase the rpm for my 216 and they came back with all this crap as to why I dont need it and its fine out of the box. You saved me $100 and I learnt something new.

[@thegreenandgoldlife1464]

Aye. No problems mate. Happy to help where I can

[@SenorNavel]

@@thegreenandgoldlife1464 I do have one question, by increasing the RPM of the lawnmower, is there any chance this could damage the gearbox and the blade brake gear?

[@thegreenandgoldlife1464]

@@SenorNavel I'm not sure as I think I mentioned that the engin should be safe at these RPMs but you would need to do further research. My thought is that there is a minor increase in risk of causing damage to secondary drive components.

I’m off to the shed now. Epic video mate. Made it simple to follow. Appreciate it mate 👍

The little digital tachos are great to put on scotty B for RPM visibility and keeping track of oil service hours

Amen. Better than my method of waiting till the oil gets thick 🤣🤣🤣

Righteo bad boi, we're gonna tinker with this bad boi eh‽

[@Barnagh1]

An agricultural contractor I know who mows more than 8,000 acres of grass every year says - it’s not speed that cuts grass, it’s edge that cuts grass. A sharp blade on a mower leaves a good lawn without Formula 1 revs.

Adding this to the spring tune up of the old victa 🤙 thanks for the video

No dramas Jake 🤙. Bloody love a bit of shed time 💪

I check the revs with the blades engaged Danny but no doubt you'll see and improvement.

[@thegreenandgoldlife1464]

Hhhhmmmm🤔🤔🤔🤔. I see your point. Might be a good test. Correct me if Iam wrong but, isn't it the govonors job to increase engine revs under load. I'm gunna check. Hang on

[@thegreenandgoldlife1464]

It made a 100 rpm dif with blades engaged with a cold engine. Might look at it next mow. Might mean a little more tension on governor spring 🤙. Gotta be careful tho 3600 is Max SAFE operating if it's running at 3700 to be working at 3600 Might be OK, but probs out of recommended engine speed. 🤔

[@chisel83]

@@thegreenandgoldlife1464 the gxv can handle a lot more but 3600 is the max blade speed. People use The horizontal gx engines on go carts and ditch the governors just be diligent about oil changes. Anyway Dan a 100 rpm + or minus won’t make or break it , what you’ve done is a huge improvement 👍

And what does the service-manual say about max. RPM?

[@thegreenandgoldlife1464]

Didn't read the manual. There is a torque/rev curve

[@easilymatt8439]

I personally wouldn't go over 3k as these engines like to start smoking if revved too high after a while

[@thegreenandgoldlife1464]

By all means mate. Tune it to where ever you are comfortable. I found it super under powered and would rather risk a smoky engine than an under performing mower👍.
