How to adjust snowblower governor idle speed

A faster engine will give you more power and snow throwing distance, but there is a limit. If the engine runs too fast you will break the piston rod connected to the cylinder. Watch as I show you how to test your RPM and adjust it for the correct idle speed, which you can buy below.

I have posted some basic tools, including the tachometer, for working on your carburetor in the description

The tachometer you give as a link is not the same as you seem to used.Do you have the part number and model of the one you actually using . Thank's

[@imsmoother]

I don't think that one is made anymore. The company may not exist now.

Doesn't the kill switch key, which is part of the engine cover, have to be inserted to get the motor to start? You were able to start the engine without the kill switch connected. Did you bypass it?

[@jasonscott6368]

The kill switch is actually a reverse switch when the key is in, it blocks power from going across, when the key is out, it completes the circuit and grounds out the coil. Killing the engine

You can see the adjustment screw with out removing the cover. Just Sayin.😄

You can see the adjustment screw without removing the cover. Just Sayin. 🤔

U said "idle", not high speed. Wat is idle rpm setting

[@dj5752]

Set the low idle speed to 1600 RPM'S. I have the 8hp Tecumseh engine HMSK80 and it works well.
