Where did a rotary mower get mentioned?
How would the OP know what the safe limit was?
You're forgivenSorry fellas I thought I was replying in the newer thread by the OP
Replacement mower rpm question.
I have had to buy another mower & photos are attached. A few little teething problems but nothing major & nearly completed. My question is I wish to bring the revs up a little. Please advise what lever I need to bend or spring altered etc. If I need to remove anything to show a different...www.diynot.com

In the correct post!!!!!
This is why i want the rpm to increase.
I have the throttle set at HARE & have bent that rod as mentioned on the carb,did it in situ so assumed it moved ?
It will take ages to cut lawns like this so what do you think ?

Actually watching the video it looks faster that what it actually is ha ha

I'd say that the speed was actually about right.......did bending the rod make any difference?

Well i did assume i bent it but it was done it situ.
Isnt there a sure way to bring rpm up more so at least the speed of the thing moves along quicker.
Does adjusting the self propel new cable help with this ?
This grass isnt long & mower crawls along,any grass that is a bit higher i think it will struggle

The self propel cable has no effect on the engine speed.
Unfortunately there aren't any adjustments to be made by a screwdriver or whatever - other than it's idle or tickover speed.
All you can do is to ensure the machine is getting full throttle when the handlebar lever says it is....any more movement should bring the choke on.
As far as I can see, adjusting the rod I mentioned is the only way to go.

P.S Heading for Spain in an hour, so may be a little difficult to advise from there!!

It seems to be going at around the right speed, I'm not sure what you expect. If you need faster, then you need to look at ride-on mowers.
I think you are expecting too much from it. It needs to move slow enough, to make a proper job of both cutting the grass, and at the pace of an easy walk - nothing more than that.
The self-propel cable simply engages, or disengages the clutch/drive. It doesn't adjust the speed at all. The speed is set by the tortoise/hare engine speed adjuster.
If the rod doesn't connect to the same lever as the spring, slightly bend the circled lever which should increase tension on the spring.
