Hustler Raptor SD Discharge Trouble

[RhettWS]

Glad you got that worked out for the smaller unit too. Sort of amazing what a few hundred RPMs will make. I checked mine and it was dead on for high idle at 3600.

Yeah the hi lift blades are awesome,,they suck up all the little twigs,pine cones,and what not,,then chop it up real good,,the stock blades dont have much lift at all on my 54.

I was wondering, exactly how do you check the engine RPM's on these?

There is a mini tach you can get on ebay with an hour meter...they work very well,,i have them on all my other mowers..the tach is very accurate IMO.

Here is a link to the one I use...very easy to hook up,,just wrap the wire around a spark plug wire then zip tie and trim,,and select 2 cylinder for mode.

Just ordered similar tach. Does it matter where on the spark plug wire you wrap it? The Raptor has 4" of wire showing from the plug before it goes under the cover. Can I wrap it that close to the plug?

Yes,it doesn’t matter,,as long as you get 5 or 6 wraps on it you will be fine,,the one on my Husky is right up against the boot which is really close to the valve cover.
