hey everyone,
I got a free gx340 off a power washer from work after cleaning the carb changing the oil and a new filter it started first pull. I have decided to put a torque converter on it a commit 40 series it works great but isnt fast enough, of course, what i would like to do is get the RPMs up. My question to you is how can i safely remove/modify the governor to allow somewhere around 5000 RPM, where can i get the parts and what parts are needed to do this. I know i need stronger springs and I have read the disclaimer about governor removal on stock motors.
I have heard everything from taking the governor out, modifying the throttle, putting a cheater spring in... ext. I am on a very slim budget so the less i have to do the better.
