believe that engine is running too fast or
too slow, take your mower to a Sears or
other qualified service center for repair
and adjustment.
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. If your
engine does not operate properly due to sus-

engine governor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed. Overspeeding

qualified service center, which has proper
equipment and experience to make any
necessary adjustments.
