Put a SEARS or SHOPKO sticker on there. The WAL-MART sticker actually takes away hp!

u cant just disable the governor, you have to jam it up somehow, make it solid. straight pipe and filter wont help any unless u rejet the engine, and i dont think its possible to rejet a tecumseh. It will run alot worse, backfire alot, and sound horrible.
