I've got it up to 3550 (no load) by my tach. I'm still puzzled why I'm limited RPMs after new rings installed. Valves were lapped and set during reassemble.

Thanks for that. I'm leaning toward me not getting the linkage right.

I will check the valves and spray the exhaust today.

'a weak combustion problem' ? What does that mean ? I'm not new to this but that term is new.

I have been mowing to break-in the rings and haven't got enough time (2 hrs) to change oil yet. I have checked the firing on both cylinders, though not under a load.

I only want the rpm's up more than 3450 . 3600 would be good if I can get it there with adjustments.

fs651v-DS07-R I'm just trying to get a little more top end. It was showing 3600 on the machine's tach before I replaced wore out rings. Now it shows 3250 RPM. I can definitely tell the difference mowing.

Yes, it's 1/4" from touching with throttle wide open. I tried moving throttle cable to limit screw and after I pull lever down then back up, it's not touching again. ??

I tried the governor adjustment by the book. I'm evidently doing something wrong. I have the same problem. I hold the gov. arm and throttle lever on carb while tightening and throttle is wide open. When I start the engine and go to WOT, the gov. is pulling back from being full throttle. I still...

Thank you very much for enlightening me on this 'new to me' type governor arm. I have this manual downloaded already but had not read thoroughly enough. I'll try to adjust this today.

I have just rebuilt this Kawi FS651V and all test good except I can't figure out the high idle on this engine. I have rebuilt a few FH engines and they are different. The governor arm has a link attached to it where the linkage connects.?? Moving the plate did not effect the RPMs. Adjusting...
