I had a lawn mower that i messed around with. I took the govonor off and used a bycicle brake lever and cable for the new throttle. I put it on the deck hight adjuster I think.



IM from NH too.

taking the govoner off is easy just find the carb and run a throttle cable off it, make shure you have a throttle return spring tho.

depending on how many Hp your mower is. I bet you can get it as fast as you would want to go with the crapy steering and high center of gravety. so probly about 35 mph.
