Thanks Doug, I downloaded it. The mower is running well right now, I put the tach on it and it's at 3200rpm. Sounds a lot better than it did previously when it was revving low.

I just ordered a tach so I can measure it. I owe you a few beers!

I drilled out the jet with the 78 drill bit which definitely took off a little brass. Cleaned it all out and it seems to run good again. One more question: it hasn't ever seemed to rev very high, like a 4 stroke does. Is that normal for these 2 strokes? The governor seems to be allowing the...

Thanks Doug. I have a set of those drill bits already (motorcycle carb work) and I've had luck putting the bit into my vise to hold it securely and then turning the jet manually on the drill bit to drill it out, since you're hardly taking any brass off with the drill. I'll get after it today...
