Huskee 34T splitter pump upgrade

What I'm referring to is the throttle you are controlling is actually just an idle throttle. You are changing your idle speed......from low idle to high. You can't put the engine at WOT, only your governor can do that when it senses load. If you were to override the governor and manually open the throttle on your carb to wide open with no load, the engine will be screaming until it scatters it's innards all over the place. I was just being a smart-a$$. It's a pet peeve of mine when people refer to the throttle on a small engine as being at WOT under no load. It's technically incorrect. Anyway, carry on.

 

Yes and no...the throttle plate is not wide open, but the throttle control lever is, so that's why the common reference...I bet if I say "what's your high idle speed" on any given forum, 98% would not answer the governed speed...but if I ask what's your WOT speed, 98% get it right (give the governed speed, which in this case would/should be 3600)

 

I agree, however, it doesn't make it correct just because most people think it is. However, for the sake of ease, I understand what you are saying.
