Today I was removing some brush and small trees with my 1900 and had a branch come up and open the throttle wide open. I pushed in the clutch and shoved the hand throttle up to kill to engine. To my horror it didn't do slow down. I looked at the tac. and it was at 3000 rpm (sounded like 5000).I put it in reverse and got it away from the branch and it died. I thought I blew it up, then I realized I had pushed the hand throttle all the way up when this all started. I pulled the hand throttle back and it fired right up (Thank God). PTO rpm is 2450 and I never run it any higher than that. What I would like to do is lower the govenor rpm to about 2600. When the engine was at 3000 it sounded like it was going to fly apart. Can this be easily done and can you think of any reasons no to do it. By the way the manual says max rpm is 2950.
Thanks for any ideas
