Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Engine overspeed, throttle control, wet snow


Question
Hello, I have a snowblower that works well in light snow. I know that any blower has a harder time with wet (heavy) snow and mine is no exception. What I am wondering is if I adjust the governor linkage so that the top engine rpm's are say 10% higher, what are the risks to the engine. I'm assuming it will use more fuel and run hotter, but is that so much an issue when it is cold out? My intent is to give the blower a little more boost when it comes to clearing wet snow. Or is this something that should never be done?  

Answer
 Hello Chris:

 You can Increase the Engine RPM's by Shortening the Throttle Control Spring or Using a Spring of the Same Length with a Heaver Tension. Some Throttle Control Plates have the Spring Attached to a Lever that can be Bent to Tighten the Spring. Send me the Model Numbers Off of the Blower and the Engine, Please. With these I can Locate a Breakdown/IPL and Better Assist you. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
