Already got the manual.
And I already learned something.
You don't just turn the knob to change the speed. You are supposed to set the top no load RPM (take the adjustment knob out of the equation) and THEN dial in an RPM. I bet playing with this relationship will dial it in. They claim this will hold within 2 Hz but I am not sure if that is 60 +/- 2 or 60 +/- 1. The only thing is I don't know if I have the "front mount" air cleaner or standard one. Either way the top no load rpm should be 4150 or 4250, as this is a 19 cid.
And if I'm intuiting operation correctly, I'll find mine a bit below the spec. It should help the governor "pull harder" on the throttle as it responds to load.
