huh. Zero of my chainsaws or weedeaters have a governor... trigger is wired straight to the throttle shaft. Ah well, it's been a while since I bought anything new (except an MS660 clone that also has no governor but a 36" bar will slow it down quite a bit). The CDI may have a rev limiter I'm told, but don't care enough to melt one down trying to find it. lol. Leaning out a two stroke (yeah, I know, apple not equal oranges) to control RPM is what I would call BAD. No worries, carry on!

I have used those pilot unloaders on huge compressors, but it moves air pressure to unload the valve from closing so it just pumps to atmosphere. You would be talking about getting an air cylinder to move the throttle back when the pressure raises. Pressure lowers, the actuator closes to (might need a check valve to atmosphere to allow the air to leave the actuator). The longer you can make the motor run at lower rpm's the longer you should be able to keep it running.

as far as installing it, I think I'll just weld a new nipple to the tank. the other stuff is threaded with a chinesium pitch - just welding a new nipple (or bung) seems easiest.
and then it is time to start making the motor mountFlying south, with a flock of bird dogs.

They were very concerned because there was no warning... which, had they drained the tank and saw the rusty water.
At least put "drain the tank" in your soon to be stolen instructions? Stick a pressure washer in it and see.. bet money you already did.

I know this has to be repeated over and over in a courtroom, but some folks just aren't that clever. Stupid doesn't equal suicide, and McDonald's coffee proved a lot about common sense.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.

other than thermal shock like any other engine?
Should have ball bearing crank, needle bearings maybe on the crank pin and piston pin. They design around home owners - probably fine. Replace it when it won't spin the compressor sort of deal.
Geographical question, how cold is it going to get?
Really, it gets down to how fast it will take full throttle without being choked. It doesn't take very long before it's warm.Last edited by Beagle; August 21, 2020, 04:34 PM.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.
