Good answer, but its not right!

[spudulike]

You have just made some old tool to piss us off because we can't work out what they are for!

[2stroke-ady]

We occasionally talk about special tools, anyone know what these are for?

Ah, lawnmowers, don't do many of them, guess you could build the worlds slowest chainsaw with a B&S engine:lol:

Richard is quite correct.

That is because he is an all rounder, not restricted to just saws:lol:

 

4 stroke engines as fitted to small plant such as mowers have governors fitted. The max speed of these engines is controlled by applying a force (via a spring) to the governor arm. The governor is always trying to shut the revs down but the the throttle spring fights it to bring the revs up.

 

Many engines do not have screw type adjusters to alter the spring tension. Instead you have to bend the 'tang' that the spring fits to.

 

Often impossible to get pliers on, but these 'tang' tools slide in nicely and allow the revs to be set.

Who's restricted to saws:001_rolleyes:I have fixed everything from saws to 200 year old longcase clocks, biggest thing I have fixed was probably a 60' long industrial printer I worked on and repaired....many times!

 

You know what I mean you reach an age where you have had thumbs in many pies - I do a few mowers and TBH, if you can understand and fix one mechanical item, it is pretty certain you will be able to fix another - whatever it is!
