Thats really interesting.I wonder what his advice is on your lawnmower running wide open for hours on end while mowing your yard.I have talked to people who mow 6-8 hours at a time and dont blow motors.Kinda makes ya wonder,huh?
Running small pump and mower engines wide open is an oxymoron. All of them I have ever seen have a governor set to a very low (and standard) 3600 RPM. You can run a bit slower, but I don't think it helps a lot. I believe keeping the oil changed is is more helpful than throttling them back. That keeps you real busy on a pump that runs 24/7!
