how do I increase the rpm

How do I go about increasing the rpm to 20º over stock in a wd45

I know about the spring but do you swap it with a diffrent spring or adjust the weights some how to get it 20º over stock

go here and see the governor assembly. The weights are not adjustable.

Sounds pretty simple to me. Both tractors use the same governor weights. I don't know how many more times I need to post this info.

oh about a zillion times and one they may get it . 

Gleaner "E" is around 1800-1850 RPM and does not have an idle plunger. Each tractor engine is capable of a high idle stop screw located on top of the governor front cover. If your engine doesn't have one, the cover can be drilled/tapped for one. This just allows you to limit the top speed so you don't go over an assigned RPM.

Then its a matter of how far you pull the throttle and the size of carb. That will dictate rpms

Viola! Pistons removed from the bottom!

On second thought, It mighta just made a fart noise..

make sure rev limiter in msd works . tell all the wise guys theirs may go boom but mine still drive on the trailer  no booms.   It was the weights blowing apart that put it on the trailer. remove the weights and you do not have to worry with them coming apart . If you pull against andy , butch, if  you do it as posted above they will never catch that it doesn't have a gov. as long as you do your part with throttle.

There isn't a word for a guy like you..... Jeez I hope you shrivel up in a ball of waste when you blow up a motor because it doesn't have a safety device called a governor and you hurt someone. This is assuming one of your motors can even make it far enough to hook to the sled

You are truly a piece of , if you win so much how come there are always pics of your motor in pieces in a bucket or in an oil pan

thats others posting stuff to make the inexperienced believe that so they can take your money by eliminating me as a consideration to do work for you . I do not build anything that can not be blown up by anyone.  I have two builds in shop for others now and working on a price for a complete engine from carb to oil pan for another this week. 423-472-0896 shop or cell 423 242 8596 .If you call shop ask for Mitch or Ed  . If you call cell you get me directly.  when did you start pulling?  You've been asking a  lot of newb questions even posted that.  How many engines have you done for others?

I have never pulled anywhere that did not have a rule that requires a functioning governor. I have seen guys with bush league devices to override the governor, but have never seen this chicke sh#^ approach work better than a properly adjusted and functioning governor. Kip
